Trio admit stealing diesel from lorry after police spotted van in Swaffham lay-by
Three teenagers siphoned 165 litres of diesel from a lorry while the driver slept in the cab.
But police officers who had a hunch about their Transit van parked in a lay-by on the A47 at Swaffham caught them as they made off.
At Lynn Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 18-year-old Bradley Hopkins, of Castle Acre Road, Swaffham, and two 17-year-olds, who cannot be named for legal reasons, each admitted theft of diesel worth £163.71 and going equipped for theft.
One of the trio was fined £150 for the theft and £50 for going equipped. He was also ordered to pay £55 compensation (a third of the diesel cost) to the lorry owner, £85 costs and a £32 victim surcharge!
