Ive got a guy that used to work for us, he left a year ago, he lied all the time and was a bit of a total nightmare, once his lies started to unravel, he chose to leave rather than being fired.
Anyway, this morning I get a call from a garage saying that one of our drivers had been in for petrol last week and said they forgot their fuel card and that he would come back the next day with it, he gave our company name. That was a week ago, he hasnt been back since to pay and the police have been informed.
What kind of trouble could he be in from the police for this? Obviously not paying for petrol is theft, is giving false details to them a particularly serious issue? Would this be classed as fraud also?
Its not the first time he has done things like this, when he left we got a call from a guy who we were working for asking why his grandson didnt his apprenticeship, when we quizzed further, he had met the employee of ours on holiday and he told him that his dad owned the company and that he could get him started, he even brought him down (making the poor kid drive 40 miles on a saturday afternoon) to meet me to sign on as an apprentice of the company.
Other things he lied about, he said his mum and his sister had cancer for time off (they never), he said he had cancer, had less than a year to live (after he had left), was going to have a kidney removed (which never happened) and all stupid stuff that was easy to discover was nonsense. He's obviously quite mad, but this is the first time that he's legally gone overboard.
He's also apparently stole thousands off his poor granny that he lives with and threatened to commit suicide when she threatened to shop him, so she didnt.
