Thanks to Chad at Kidrobot for the heads up on this one. These are the simple facts: This man is one David Moore, he is from Southport & he likes toys called 'Dunnys' so says the BBC report. In fact Mr David Moore from Southport liked Dunny's so much he stole more than £780,000 from his company to buy more of them.
"Police believe he may have been "priming the market" in Dunnys
ready to have a good supply for when the craze swept the UK"
- BBC Report
He pleaded guilty to 18 counts of theft whilst asking for an astonishing further 364 to be taken into account. For 4 years he had cashed cheques he'd written to himself as the company Accountant and it was only when made redundant and another accountant hired that his criminal activities were discovered. He has been jailed for 3 years.
