Evidence in the trial of five men arrested when police raided a scrap metal yard may not be heard until Monday.

Yesterday legal arguments continued at Oxford Crown Court in the trial of five defendants who deny charges of attempting to acquire and conceal criminal property at TR Rogers Metal Recycling, in Nuneham Courtenay, in May last year.

They are Terence Rogers, 69, of High Street, Drayton St Leonard; Simon Rogers, 42, of Bromsgrove, Faringdon; Martin Pace, 35, of Abbott Road, Didcot; Ian Marshall, 29, of Evenlode Drive, Berinsfield; and Darren Andrews, 34, of Colwell Road, Berinsfield.
