Peel man faces 20 charges of theft
A court’s heard a police officer is alleged to have committed 20 thefts between 2014 and 2017.
Forty-five-year-old Michael Stephen Crompton of Peel appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas courthouse.
He hasn’t yet entered pleas to 20 charges of theft and one of concealing, transferring or removing criminal property.
Mrs Hughes bailed Mr Crompton in the sum of £500 and he’ll next appear in court on 21 January.
Update:
In November 2020 the defendant admitted unlawfully aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring a relative to make a false representation to obtain benefits between 13 January 2014 and 23 October 2017.
Social enquiry and psychiatric reports were considered and Mr Crompton was sentenced to eight weeks in custody which was suspended for 12 months.
He was also ordered to pay £125 in prosecution costs.
The prosecutor, on behalf of the Attorney General’s Chambers, withdrew the original offences.
