A man who defrauded his employer of more than half a million pounds has been ordered to pay back £220k.
Jonathan Lucas, 54, of Waterlow Close, Telford, was the financial controller for SP Services, a firm that supplies medical and safety equipment for the armed services, public services, NHS, and others.
While on suspension Lucas was asked to carry out a payroll run under close supervision. It was during the process that discrepancies were noted and the thefts were uncovered.Lucas fully admitted stealing from his employer and on March 25, 2019, at Shrewsbury Crown Court he pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of authority.
"A confiscation order imposed, means he must pay the victim back £220,077.47, or face time in prison. Lucas abused his position of trust within the company and this order goes some way to compensate the victim, who has been impacted by the criminal conduct of Lucas.
