Calling Up Crime
A 28-year-old man, who was found with 600 mobile phones in this flat, has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to remove criminal property from the jurisdiction of England and Wales and concealing criminal property. Safaine Azzouz, of Alexandra Grove, FinsburyPark, N4, was sentenced at Blackfriars Crown Court, receiving five years for the first offence, which was linked to an earlier attempted exportation of a large quantity of stolen mobile phones, and two years for the second offence, to run concurrently. The charges relate to a huge number of mobile phones, dozens of cameras and a number of laptop computers police seized from the offender's property.
