A thieving chef began stealing money from a Jarrow pub on his first day on the job.
Carl McKeith was employed as a chef by The Greyhound Inn and began working on August 1 last year following a short trial period. But the 44-year-old repaid the pub by stealing cash from the till on the day he started before going on to steal money from fellow employees.
McKeith stole £200 from the pub's till before stealing £200 from a colleague's handbag after entering the pub manager's accommodation, which was within the premises. Despite being caught on CCTV, he initially denied the thefts.
