Thieves Stole £35k Mercedes, Sold It For £50 & You Won’t Believe What They Did With The Money

Lol, can’t deal with some people in this life. Lol I just can’t. Thieves who stole a man’s pride and joy £35,000 Mercedes car have sold it on Facebook for just £50.

Hostel mates Andrew Griffiths, 25, and a 17-year-old youth pocketed £25 each from the sale of the 130 miles per hour AMG model and they spent it on drugs and drink.

The owner had left the four-month-old car on his drive in Middlesbrough when the pair went out “grafting”, trying car door handles, in the early hours before opening the car and going away with it.

Prosecutor Harry Hadfield told Teesside Crown Court that they did the £50 deal in Acklam with a man who took it to Sunderland to be stripped for parts.

But first the juvenile, who had never driven before, bulleted it at over 100mph around the Middlesbrough Retail Estate, before police later apprehended them at a homeless hostel days after.
