Policewoman proceeds on £6,000 holiday to Dubai using thieved credit card

A Cumbrian cop stole a credit card from her mother’s companion to pay for a ten-day holiday for four people to Dubai.

Natalie Scott, 36, was detained 2 days subsequent to her returned from the middle eastern visit.

This occurred after the victim, Christopher McKellor, received a phone call from his bank conveying the fact that a financial transaction had been accrued that took his card over the restriction.

The justice informed North Cumbria Magistrates’ Court the way in which the credit card was stolen: ‘While working in full police uniform the lady had stolen her mother’s partner’s ATM card.

‘She claimed she found the atm card by the entrance. She grabbed the credit card then put it in her pocket and left the house.’

In court, the former law enforcement officer of fifteen years, confessed theft and fraud by pretence representation.

She was given a suspended verdict of 8 weeks, 200 hours of voluntary labor, pay £5,996 in settlement plus £85 in court expenses.
