Enrichment News from the Nottinghamshire Courts

ABID Hamid, 26, of Dale View Road, Carlton Hill, has been banned from the roads for two years after being caught drink-driving in Radford. Hamid pleaded guilty to driving a Mercedes CLK car in Ilkeston Road on December 20, while he had 94 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. This exceeded the legal limit of 35 micrograms. Hamid was also fined £200, and ordered to pay £85 prosecution costs and a £22 victim surcharge. He also admitted a related charge of failing to stop after an accident in which damage was caused to a central reservation and street furniture in Ilkeston Road on December 20. He faced no separate penalty.

A HYSON Green man has admitted making a UK passport application in a false name. Lateef Kareem, 40, of Radford Road, pleaded guilty to committing the fraud on August 8, 2009. He also admitted a second fraud charge by completing a Home Office travel document under a false name on May 25, 2007. Sentencing for both charges was adjourned until Friday, to allow for a pre-sentence report to be prepared. Kareem has been bailed until that hearing.
