Prosecution claims fake headphones and watches destined for Lancashire buyers were worth more than £250,000

one count of the same offence. The court was told that
couriers DHL alerted the North West Trading Stand ards Unit to a suspicious shipment of “Dr Dre” brand ed headphones from Hong Kong, which was being sent to an address in Kirkham. Ford was arrested by Cus
toms officers after being wit nessed accepting the parcel. Trading Standards chiefs
then arrested Clitheroe mar ket trader Mahmood, for whom Ford had accepted the delivery.
The court heard the de
fendants had made the ar rangement after “bumping into each other” on Preston Market. A total of 800 pairs of counterfeit headphones and 600 fake “Ice” branded watches were seized. Prosecuting Sarah Mor
gan said: “The NWTSU made a controlled delivery on September 16th and Ford
■ was arrested. In interview he admitted receiving the headphones on behalf of Mahmood and had received no financial benefit.
“On October 30th, Mah-
mood was arrested and his premises searched. Six box es of Ice watches were recov ered. He fully admitted the offences.” Defending Ford, Sephton
Lee added: “He had just re turned from holiday and had a DHL card through the door. He accepted the shipment.” The prosecution argues
the earphones were valued at £224,000 and the watches at £36,000, but the defence argued the earphones were worth £64,000.

For your LOCAL ADVISOR or a FREE home survey & quotation : Woman’s stream death was ‘accidental’
An inquest in Kendal has recorded a verdict of acci dental death on a49-year-old Clitheroe woman who was found lying in a Lake District stream earlier this year. Alisa Gordon was discov
ered by her husband, David, and his sister lying on her back in Glencoyne Beck, Glenridding, at about 6 pm
on April is t. She was suffering from hypothermia and died the next day in Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester, having been airlifted there. A doctor who conducted
a post-mortem examination told the inquest it was likely that Mrs Gordon would have had more than four times the legal driving limit of alcohol
in her blood at the time she \yas found. She had left the holiday
cottage where she and her husband were staying at around noon, saying she was going for a walk. However, her husband told the inquest that Mrs Gordon had a histo- ryofpsychological problems stemming from a childhood
trauma and would turn to drink in times of stress.
Recording a verdict of ac
cidental death, coroner Mr Ian Smith said it appeared Mrs Gordon had stumbled or fallen into the stream and been there for some time, the effects of the cold water worsened by the alcohol in her system.

heroin and that led to these offences," said Mr Huggan. “He is thoroughly ashamed
