Three men involved in running a fraudulent luxury car dealership which conned customers of £720,000, have walked free from court.
The fraudulent business Mansori Cars, operated out of Warrington’s Birchwood Park and targeted dozens of customers by selling high-end vehicles without informing them or handing over the proceeds.
