A trusted worker is facing jail after stealing more than £46,000-worth of jewels from a Newcastle Jewellers.
Devious Keiran Hurhangee was employed at Williamson Brown Jewellers, in Jesmond, when he subtly began helping himself to some of the stock. A court heard that, over a two-year period, the 44-year-old repeatedly breached his boss's trust by pocketing rings, bracelets, necklaces and other expensive items, worth a total of £46,865.65.
But Hurhangee's scheming eventually caught up with him and his dishonesty was finally discovered. He was reported to the police and appeared in the dock on Wednesday to plead guilty to one count of theft by employee.
