London: An Indian-origin businessman who ran a car parking service at London's Heathrow airport was today fined and handed a six-week suspended sentence for illegally driving a customer's Range Rover car in her absence.
Devinder Singh, 30, was also banned from driving for five years and ordered to pay 350 pounds (USD 512) in costs and an 80-pound (USD 117) victim surcharge by Ealing Magistrates' Court in London.
"Singh was interviewed under caution after one of his customers complained to police about the use of her car while away on holiday. The customer had left their car, a Range Rover Sport, with Singh's business YesParking.
Singh was convicted of driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and taking a motor vehicle without the owner's consent after he pleaded guilty to all charges, the spokesperson said.
"Also the mileage had changed significantly. A tracking device showed the car being parked at various addresses including Singh's home during the period while the customer was away," the spokesperson said.
"This was a betrayal of his customer's trust by brazenly using their cars while they were away on holiday without their knowledge.
