Aman Khan, 40,Stole £4,000 of fuel from petrolstations across Solihull, Birmingham is jailed

Aman Khan 40-year-old from Alum Rock who stole more than £4,000 worth of fuel from petrol stations across Solihull and Birmingham has been jailed.

Aman Khan was sentenced to 3 years and 2 months in prison after being convicted of more than 48 fuel thefts.

The fuel thefts spanned over 12 months with Khan changing the vehicle and registration plates each time.



He was even brazen enough to go back to some places more than once to commit further offences.

Khan was arrested but denied that he was the man from the CCTV, however the evidence was stacked against him and he was found guilty at Birmingham Crown Court last week.

PC Peter Hewer from force CID said: “This man had a total disregard for the law and I have no doubt he would still be carrying further thefts had he not been caught.

“It needs to be made clear that if you steal fuel the consequences are very serious.

“People can be quite dismissive of fuel theft, believing it’s largely a victimless crime.

“However, the reality is these offences are often committed by people who’ve stolen number plates from other cars or even stolen vehicles so offenders have a negative impact on the wider community and tend to be linked to other criminality.”
