KELVIN Sheaf did not tell the police who was driving a Ford Transit thought to have been guilty of an offence.

So magistrates in Basingstoke have banned Sheaf, 46, of Spearywell, Mottisfont, near Romsey from driving for 28 days, fined him £1,000 and told him to pay a £100 victim surcharge and costs of £85. The case was proved in his absence.
