credit card ticket scam at Stansted Airport
A man has been jailed and his girlfriend and two other men given suspended prison sentences over a credit card ticket racket centred on Stansted Airport.
Chelmsford Crown Court was told that the scam was used to obtain 31 Ryanair flights from Stansted to Lithuania worth more than £10,000.
Marijus Tamkus, 27, of Darling Row, Stepney, east London, who described himself as the major player in the scam, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud and smuggling cigarettes and tobacco. He was jailed for eight months.
