A car salesman stole thousands of pounds from the Cardiff dealership where he worked.
Christopher Michael of Cwrt Bevan, Merthyr Tydfil , stole a total £2,200 from Fordthorne Motor Park on Penarth Road, Cardiff on March 21, 2017 and June 6, 2017.
Between February 1, 2017 and July 1, 2017, the 38-year-old salesman also committed fraud and "dishonestly abused his position" for financial gain.
