Pub worker stole from employers

Defendant pocketed hundreds of pounds, court told

A PUB worker has been caught stealing from his employers.

In the dock at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, January 23, was 19-year-old Daniel Ellis of Casey Court, Stanford Dingley.

He admitted one charge of theft by employee.

Specifically, he pleaded guilty to stealing £500 from The Old Boot Inn, Stanford Dingley, between August 1, 2018, and March 11 last year.

Mr Ellis was made subject to a 12-month community order with the requirement that he carry out 40 hours of unpaid community work.

In addition, he was ordered to pay a statutory victim services surcharge of £85.

No order for costs was made because of Mr Ellis’ lack of means to pay, but he was ordered to pay £500 compensation to The Old Boot Inn.
