A Chester Zoo worker has been jailed after he stole more than £180,000 from his former employer to fund his gambling addiction.
Daniel Remmington worked in a 'trusted' position as a bookkeeper for Liverpool Motor Auctions Ltd but instead helped himself to huge sums of cash over the course of more than a year, a court heard. The money was used to 'clear his overdraft' or 'went straight over the counter or into betting terminals at William Hill', a judge said.
The 29-year-old, who was working for Chester Zoo before he was sentenced, admitted to having a gambling addiction. Liverpool Motor Auctions Ltd folded and innocent staff members lost their jobs as a result of his crimes, the Liverpool Echo reports.

A trial at Liverpool Crown Court heard how Remmington stole a total of £186,000 from the car auction company between March 2019 and April 2020 while working as its cashier and bookkeeper. Robert Dudley, prosecuting, described how he would take the business' cut of cash sales before paying the funds into his own Halifax bank account.
The fraudster was able to cover his tracks by incorrectly recording the transactions. Even after the company's owner identified that around £160,000 was missing from its accounts and began an internal investigation, the defendant continued to steal another £20,000.
Remmington also purchased a Nissan Qashqai from the company, but never paid a penny for it after using a fake name for the sale. The auctioneers was left with a £5,500 shortfall as a result, with half of the price being paid via a cheque from his mum.
His swindle only ceased when the when company was forced to

NME that comments made by Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena about grassroots venues are “disrespectful and disingenuous”.Earlier this week, the executive director of the major new 23,500 capacity venue said that some smaller venues in the UK are “poorly run” and dismissed calls for a £1 ticket levy on all gigs arena-sized and above.Gary Roden told the BBC he believes the levy is “too simplistic”, and says it should fall on the government rather than major arenas to support the live music ecosystem.“If the conversation stops being ‘Give me a quid’ and quite aggressive – if it changed to be, ‘What can we do together to help?’, that’s where I think we start to get into that apprenticeship conversation and all those different things that we want to work through,” he said.In response, Mark Davyd, CEO of the Music Venue Trust, has told NME that he believes Roden’s comments are “disrespectful and disingenuous”, while also highlighting the irony of making such “ill-judged, unnecessary and misleading” remarks on the week that their own venue was forced to postpone their own launch, due to a number of logistical problems.“It is regrettable that the owners of Co-Op Live have consistently declined invitations to engage properly in the discussion about the future of the UK’s live music ecosystem so that the team there could have a full understanding of the challenges and issues facing the grassroots music sector, venues, artists and promoters,” Davyd said.“This lack of willingness to play a role in that ecosystem unfortunately leads them to make ill-judged and poorly considered comments about the sector’s approach to the discussions, the professionalism of the people running the venues, the possibility for [Co-Op Live commercial partner]
