Ex-worker jailed for £29k fraud on phones

A former call centre worker who cost Vodafone nearly £29,000 in new phones and iPads has been jailed for a year.

Belfast Crown Court Judge Gordon Kerr QC told 25-year-old David Parry he was a repeat offender, whose motivation in defrauding his employers was solely for profit and as a result was regarded as a high risk of reoffending.

Parry, whose address was given as Maghaberry Prison, will serve an additional year under supervised licensed parole.
