Martin Bleasby sold used bikes but did not give their original owners the profits, court hears.
A motorcycle dealership owner from Wakefield has avoided prison after he admitted defrauding customers out of £33,000.
He pleaded guilty to nine counts of fraud after Judge Tahir Khan advised him he would suspend a custodial sentence if a trial was averted.Prosecuting counsel Julia Smart KC told the court that Bleasby collected motorcycles by manufacturers such as Honda and Kawasaki from customers' homes and told them he would take a 10% commission from the onward sale price.
After one man visited the dealership, his debit card was credited with the amount owed from the sale of his motorcycle, but the sum was later removed from his account and he was never reimbursed.
