Accounts Boss Accused of Swiping £56k from Wiltshire Charity
Carol Rendell, 57, from Melksham, stands accused of pocketing a whopping £56,441.70 from the Wharf Theatre charity in Devizes. The former accounts manager allegedly pulled off the fraud during her time running the books.
Five Years of Theft Uncovered
The fraud is said to have gone on for nearly five years, between May 2019 and February 2024. Rendell faces charges of fraud by abuse of position and is due in Salisbury Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 19 December at 2pm.
Serious Case Could Head to Crown Court
Given the eye-watering sum involved, there’s a strong chance this case will be bumped up to the Crown Court for a serious hearing.
