A man has been jailed for holding stolen motorbikes for thieves operating in the North West.
Ahmed Hassan, 34, of Ullswater Street, Liverpool, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Monday after pleading guilty to five counts of handling stolen goods. Paulinus Barnes, prosecuting, detailed that police spotted Hassan entering a garage in the Woolton area of Liverpool on the evening of July 2, 2021.
He had been seen getting out of a car registered to somebody in Llandudno, and when approached by police, Hassan appeared panicked. Upon inspection, officers could see a number of motorbikes in the garage, including some which were wrapped up ready for shipping.
