A dodgy DVD trader was nabbed by police when a stash of pornographic films fell out of his jacket in front of an officer.

Zhi Wong, 46, admitted possessing 110 counterfeit DVD movies at Oxford Crown Court.

Wong, a kitchen hand from High Street in Witney, was stopped by police last January after a man matching his description was reported selling counterfeit DVDs in Witney.

While he spoke to the policeman, a number of films fell from his jacket to the ground. The 53 counterfeit DVDs included Match Point, King Kong, Mr and Mrs Smith and The Producers. He also had 57 hardcore pornographic DVDs.

Dominic Kay, prosecuting, said: "As he was being spoken to, he dropped a quantity from his jacket and was arrested."

The DVDs were sent to experts at Federation Against Copyright Theft and the British Board for Copyright which classed them as counterfeit and breached trademark rules, Mr Kay added.

The court heard when interviewed by police, Wong said he bought the DVDs for £90 and wanted to watch them all, but thought he could sell a few to get his money back.

He offered them for sale to five or six people before selling five for £10 to a man in the street shortly before he was arrested, Mr Kay said.

Wong, who works at House of Wong in Witney, had previously been fined for selling counterfeit DVDs and toys in Witney and Oxford, the court heard.

He pleaded guilty to nine charges of unauthorised possession of videos to supply and one for unauthorised use of a trademark. Wong asked for 71 similar offences to be taken into consideration.

Although he admitted possessing 110 DVDs, some of the charges were for multiple copies of the same film.

Nicola McKinney, defending, said Wong moved from China in 1994 as an asylum seeker and had been given indefinite leave to remain in England. However, he had large gambling debts.

Judge Christopher Compston imposed a £1,000 fine and ordered him to pay £4,000 costs.

He told Wong: "People like you cost this nation's economy millions of pounds and there is no excuse whatsoever for you doing this, apart from greed.

"You can try and pretend you look ashamed, but I doubt you are. In my view, if you are caught again, you should go to prison."

Last week, Hassan Ehsan, of Leytonstone, East London, also escaped jail after admitting twice coming to Oxford to sell dodgy DVDs at a car boot sale.

Ehsan was fined £300 and ordered to pay £500 costs.

Tom Edwards, trading standards group manager, said: "We have had previous dealings with Mr Wong and we feel he needs to learn a lesson."
