The judge in a scrap metal trial is due to sum up the case and send the jury out to consider their verdicts today.

Brothers Joey and Tommy Smith, 24 and 36, are on trial at Oxford Crown Court accused of displaying “wilful blindness” by accepting cables and metal they suspected were stolen.

The men, from Milton Road, Adderbury, and Bloxham Road, Bloxham, deny disguising, converting or concealing criminal property between January and May last year.
