Jail for man who defrauded six customers out of almost €60,000 in mini-bus fraud

A man who defrauded six customers out of almost €60,000 by taking payments for minibuses which he never handed over to them has been sentenced to three and half years.

Mark Knight (43) was running a business in which he secured minibuses from the UK for interested clients, imported them back to Ireland and both serviced and registered them before delivering the vehicles to the customer. He advertised his business under two names Versatile Vehicles and Minibus World.
