Five men have been sentenced to jail terms of between 16 and 44 months for the theft of a trailer containing £20,000 worth of Jammie Dodgers (estimated to be 240,000 Jammie Dodgers).

Jason Howells, prosecuting, said:

“None of the items have been recovered.”

Defence lawyers said not all of the defendants had been involved in the planning of the thefts but each played a role.

Important things to remember with everything we post:

  • If you earn over your personal allowance (currently £12,570 a year) HMRC need to get their % cut (even if the money is in cash or from another country)
  • If you’re working for yourself / earning an income on the side you need to let HMRC know – There are numerous benefits but also some drawbacks
  • You need to always ensure whatever you’re doing is legal and not hurting anyone else – be careful and always think twice
  • Some income streams may require you to have DBS check, licence, insurance or qualifications before you can start to profit from it, do your research.
  • Be careful that any additional income doesn’t compromise your studies or main income/job
  • If you work for a company check your contract, if you don’t inform them you’re working on other side projects outside of work they may have grounds to ownership on this work
