A man and two women have appeared in court accused of "cheating the public revenue" out of thousands of pounds.
Jamie Fenwick, Beverley Allcock and Dawn Parker were alleged to have falsely claimed tax repayments by declaring false details of their incomes, employment and benefits on dates between 2018 and 2020. Allcock and Parker also faced further charges of entering into or being concerned in the acquisition, retention or control of criminal property.
All three were in the dock for a brief hearing at Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
