Fraudster jailed | Gambling addict's £186k theft from employer left coworkers jobless

A man has been sentenced to six years in prison after he stole £186,000 in cash from his employers to fund his gambling.

Daniel Remmington was found guilty of fraud by abuse of position at Liverpool Crown Court following a trial and he was jailed today, Monday 22 April.

Remington, 29, committed a series of thefts between March 2019 and April 2020 while he was working as a cashier at Liverpool Motor Auctions.

During this time, he stole a total of £186,000 to fund his gambling habit and would make large payments into his own Halifax bank account. He was able to hide the company's cash deficit by incorrectly recording vehicle sales.
