A car wash worker was dragged into a phone shop and beaten by two brothers after he stole five plastic containers of chemicals in revenge over not being paid, a court was told. The victim had worked at Redhill Hand Car wash, in Mansfield Road, Redhill, which is owned by Shalow Omer, who also runs Mobile Point phone repairs, in Alfreton Road, Radford.
But after just three days in the job, the victim did not turn up and his job was voluntarily terminated. But Nottingham Crown Court was told the man claimed he was still owed pay - and stole five plastic containers of chemicals, called TFT, in revenge.
Without the 1,000 litres of chemicals, the car wash had to temporarily close as more was sourced. The victim had left the business with the cans making obscene gestures at the CCTV - knowing perfectly well he would be captured on the footage for his "minor act of revenge", the court was told.
