As the driver slept in her cab, the trio cut open the lorry’s side and removed seven of the 19 pallets of chewing gum

The court heard that while Sanderson was originally thought to have been the getaway driver, police now accept that was not the case.

“The operation was instigated in Leeds in Yorkshire, so it was clearly sophisticated and planned but I accept that planning was not yours and you were effectively a foot soldier.” He noted that the lorry driver had suffered emotional distress “because effectively it was her home that was broken into” and she had to take a week off work.
