A BOLTON man who admitted handling a stolen benefit book has been given a jail sentence.

Manchester magistrates jailed Wamin Waminiska, aged 34, of Tonge Moor Road, for four months after he admitted handling one stolen benefit book.

Five other men from the Manchester and London areas, who used stolen benefits books to draw more than £60,000 at post offices across Greater Manchester, were jailed for a total of 11 years.
