A bus driver stole more than £72,000 from his employer and colleagues after racking up spiralling debts. Andrew Berry joined Trent Barton in 2004, and went on to become one of its lead drivers.
The 37-year-old was a highly-regarded and trusted member of staff, but a court heard he abused that trust by stealing tens of thousands of pounds. His crimes were discovered in March 2020 when he was furloughed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In his absence, management went over the accounts and it became apparent Berry had been using his position to steal vast sums of money. He was arrested and appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday (November 28) after pleading guilty to fraud by abuse of position of trust and theft at a previous hearing.
