A case of theft, fraud and deception

08-02-2008, 07:05 AM

Okay, let's work hypothetically.

Person A lives with Person B, they split up, Person A owes Person B money for bills etc. They still live in the same house. Persona A gives person B her bank card and tells Person B to draw money out, Person B does so. Months later, Person A is out of money, and taking too many drugs. Person A declares money has been stolen from her account on several occasions. There is CCTV footage of Person B using Person A's card. The police are involved and find images and Person As's story checks out. Person B tells them his side. This is under English law.

What is the case here? Who/what happens? Is it a case of 6 of one and half a dozen of the other?

The two will have to give statements under oath, testify etc. and any other evidence is also collected.

The investigators usually can get the truth to emerge.

Never give a pin to anybody or your case for theft is seriously weakened.

Person B has Person A's pin, no one can prove how Person B got the pin. Will person B be prosecuted? Or is it a case of one vs one?
