Five go on passports trial
Date published: 21 September 2009
Five men were due go on trial today after passports worth £2.5 million were stolen from a van in Chadderton.
Boxes containing around 3,000 blank passports and visas were stolen in the raid.
The vehicle was targeted after the driver jumped out to buy a newspaper and a chocolate bar from a newsagent.
The stolen passports were destined for embassies abroad as they were being driven from 3M Security Printing and Systems in Chadderton to RAF Northolt in the early hours of July 28, last year.
The delivery was being made by an unnamed firm on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Mohammed Fyal (34), of Stretford; Mohammed Khan (53), of Werneth; Muneer Hussain (29), of Oldham; Jawad Karim (18), of Oldham; and Mohammed Shanawaz (23), of Chadderton; are being tried at Manchester Crown Court accused of handling stolen goods.

sick - unlike you I condemn criminals without looking at their background. Check my comments out and prove me wrong.
However you being a bigot have to check their colour first, so sit on your high horse and look like an idiot if you must.
