Plumber’s leak ruins his life

A PLUMBER who used a household water tank to tackle a leak of his own yesterday escaped jail — but said his life had been destroyed anyway.

Roy Williams, 47, was sentenced to 150 hours community service and fined €5,475 at Guildford Crown Court.

He was caught after being called out to fix a “fault” at a house used for an undercover Trading Standards sting operation.
