Surplus Midgets are surplus in South America but popular in Italy and Spain

 Evidence has shown that Nolan would travel to Brazil where there are suplus midgets where they are no longer the crowd pullers that they used to be.

This pintsized couple were were conned into a sick promise of money, a house and cds. 

Once Clive had their signature they belonged to him and as his property there future is bleak.

Nolan and Orford would buy cheaply from special auctions as many as 20 dwarfs at a time.

Buying in bulk meant they could get very good deals and ship them to ports in the Mediterranean where they would be sold to European circuses and bars where there is now a massive demand for human curiosities.

Mike Holmes had many contacts
Auctions like this make buying quality Dwarves easy
Mike Holmes had built up a database of contacts and would drive the dwarfs in cattle trucks to an underground supplier in Madrid.

After a tip off from grass Gary Chandler, Police were shocked when they intercepted a cargo bound for Spain. 

They uncovered two huge wooden crates packed with midgets, many had not survived the two week journey.

The judge was sickened when Nolan showed no shame in court yesterday, and he ordered the jury to impose the maximum sentence.
