A conman has been jailed for three years for swindling unsuspecting shoppers out of £600,000 by selling knock-off versions of Disney’s Little Mermaid and Mrs Brown’s Boys imported from China.
Trevor Pegg was found guilty of 13 counts – including importing and supplying counterfeit DVDs, running a fraudulent business and money laundering – at Guildford Crown Court last month after a prosecution brought by Surrey County Council’s Trading Standards and the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT).
As well as peddling pirated versions of the popular Disney shows 61-year-old Pegg, of Courtlands Drive, Epsom, sold dodgy copies of the crime series The Killing on websites such as eBay and Play.
