A “Mr Fix-It” who raked in £100,000 by inventing fake drivers to take motorists’ speeding points has been jailed.

Ramesh Jhalli spent his ill-gotten gains on turning his Birmingham home into a luxury pad complete with a new kitchen, double garage extension and a gym.

He admitted helping ten drivers dodge fines – but police believe he helped hundreds of motorists during the “huge” scam after spreading the word through Facebook.

Jailing him for 18 months at Birmingham Crown Court, Judge Mary Stacey said: “The conspiracy was to ensure that people who had been caught speeding never had to face the consequences. It is something that really strikes at the heart of the fairness of the judicial system. It is very serious.”
