Holidaymaker's Toyota destroyed by mistaken charity workers

thesun.co.uk

A holidaymaker returned from a trip to find his £44,000 Toyota RAV4 destroyed after it was stolen and set on fire. The car was left with a meet and greet service at Gatwick Airport. Two charity workers mistakenly believed the driver was a drug dealer and took the car as reparation. They drove it a short distance, pushed it down an embankment, and set it ablaze. Both men were sentenced to two-year suspended prison terms and ordered to complete 300 hours of unpaid work. They must also pay £3,000 in compensation to the car owner.
