A thief made over £150,000 by stealing expensive pairs of trousers from department stores, a court heard today. Zimbabwean Mandla Ngwenya made the huge sum by leaving stores with trousers on underneath tracksuit bottoms and conning refunds. A judge at Teesside Crown Court branded him a liar and a devious professional criminal and ordered him to pay the full amount of money back .

Judge Roger Scott said of Ngwenya: 'He is a proven liar. I don't believe a word he says. I have in front of me a devious professional criminal. I think very little of him. He's a grade zero witness. He told Ngwenya, 36, he must pay the entire £150,889 in six months - or be jailed for 27 months.
A Black male? I’m shocked!
