A teenager who used a cloned credit card to buy a bike and expensive toiletries in Hounslow has been ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.

Hassan Aboukar, of Claypole Drive, Hounslow, used a copied American express card on May 26 this year to pay for a £200 bike, a bike pump and three bottles of aftershave worth £135.50 at Halfords and Boots in Hounslow.

The 19-year-old admitted possessing an article for fraud and three counts of fraud by false reputation.

He was sentenced at Feltham Magistrates' Court last Monday (November 7) to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.
