A FORMER sales assistant at Cash Converters in Bury has confessed to a £4,300 scam involving false sales.

Neil Peter Farley, 35, is said to have carried out the deceptions between dates in April and June last year.

He pleaded guilty to 16 offences of fraud, relating to his employment and was committed for sentence by Manchester magistrates to Minshull Street Crown Court.

Farley, of Argyle Street, Heywood, is scheduled to appear in the dock there on August 11.

Magistrates were told that the highest cash value of the frauds was £600.

But there were at least three other occasions where Farley got away with £500 and another deception totalled £400.

Farley had failed to attend an earlier hearing but submitted to his bail later.
