The former director of a motorcycle shop in Kent has been ordered to pay back more than £80,000 in compensation after carrying out fraudulent sales of motorbikes.

Mitchell Mosley, of Red Lane, Oxted, Surrey used the account and credit card details of unsuspecting victims and transferred large amounts of money in return for motorbikes which officers suspect never existed and were never sold.

The 13 'bikes' that were supposedly sold each cost up to £96,000 and in total cost approximately £560,000.

They were 'purchased' between February 2009 and April 2011 by the 50-year-old's firm Red Dog Motorcycles in Edenbridge High Street.

Following investigations by the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, Mosley was charged with 13 counts of money laundering in February 2012.

On June, 14 2013 he pleaded guilty to money laundering at Maidstone Crown Court and on September, 17 the same year he was sentenced to 27 months in prison.

However, his punishment continues following a confiscation hearing at Maidstone Crown Court on Thursday, August 7.

The court decided that Mosley still benefitted from the fraud by £131,755 and following an assessment of his finances has been ordered to pay back a total of £82,845.11 to his victims.

He has six months to pay the total or he will face a further 21 months in prison.
