Employee Caught Stealing In eBay Sting
Sunday, 21st May 2017 at 11:02amThe Express & Star website reports that a man who stole from his employer in an attempt to pay back a £50,000 debt was caught after the business set up a sting operation.
Adrian Hale, from Walsall, worked as a picker with Brownhills company L&S Engineers – a supplier of spare parts to the construction and plant hire industries – between July and November 2016.
