A gang has been jailed for 12 years for stealing a fleet of commercial cement mixers worth more than £1million. Patrick Bailey, 52, Darren Pinion, 36, and Leslie Delamere, 51, drove off 13 trucks and two cement mixers from business across London and the south east. The trio were caught when police trailed a stolen cement mixing lorry to Bailey's scrapyard on Five Oaks Lane, in Redbridge, north east London. A search of the yard revealed parts from seven other stolen vehicles. Bailey's phone records were then used to track down and catch Pinion and Delamere. The telephone data was also used to link the gang to a total of 13 truck thefts across London and the south east.Gang stole £1million worth of cement mixers from yard in east LondonPolice tracked down two of the machines and traced them back to gangPatrick Bailey, Darren Pinion and Leslie Delemere have all been jailedThey pleaded guilty to theft and were imprisoned for a total of 12 years
