Cash, luxury goods & sporting memorabilia seized at the home of midlands conman
  • 5 years ago
Jewellery and sporting memorabilia worth more than half-a-million pounds, which was seized from the home of a Solihull conman, are to be sold by police at auction. Diamond watches, gold cufflinks and ladies jewellery are amongst the hoard of valuables which belonged to Thomas 'Tommy' Scragg, who was jailed in July 2012 for a multi-million pound tax fraud. The bulk of the 57-year-old's property consisted of around 70 football and boxing collectables, including a pair of boots worn by Wayne Rooney in the 2007 FA Cup Final and a signed pair of Muhammed Ali's boxing shorts. The items - valued at around £675,000 - have sat in West Midlands Police storerooms since 2008 when they were seized from Scragg's country house following a raid by detectives from the force's Serious and Organised Crime Unit.
