Uxbridge Magistrates' Court Sentencing Results

During a routine inspection in July 2023 at John Foods in Hayes Shopping Centre, council officers found dried black smoked fish with mould, frozen grubs and insects, and the head of an African bush pig in the freezer. Jean Bitulu failed to ensure the traceability of these food products, which included prohibited items not permitted in the UK.

Tarsem Dhillon operated an illegal House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) at a property in Station Road, Hayes, where he housed at least 14 people despite the licence allowing only six. This breached a previous enforcement notice. The council investigated after receiving reports from residents, and officers discovered the violations in March 2023. He illegally earned approximately £20,000 in rent over a 10-month period.
