A retired police officer has admitted stealing £9,800 between August 1999 and June
2000 from the Dream Foundation, the children’s charity he helped to set up.

 

David Foley admitted 15 charges of theft at Newcastle Crown Court. A police officer
for 30 years, Foley was in the dock together with his wife Elaine. Charges against
both of them of conspiracy to defraud were dropped.
