A 38-year-old man from South Australia has been jailed for using stolen credit cards likely obtained from the dark web to purchase nearly $16,000 worth of merchandise from Bunnings stores. Aijaypal Tim Sanghera pleaded guilty to 12 counts of dishonest dealing with property and was sentenced to four months in prison and a two-month good behavior bond.
The court heard that the offending took place over a five-week period, with 11 click and collect orders placed at Bunnings stores in Berri, Parafield Gardens, and Edwardstown. The total uncompensated loss to Bunnings was $14,592, with less than a gram of methamphetamine, three ice pipes, and a dagger also found during a search of Sanghera's residence.
