Garden centre boss who stole almost half a million pounds has hearing adjourned
A Norfolk garden centre owner who stole almost half a million pounds from his elderly mother has had his hearing to claw back cash adjourned, reports the Eastern Daily Press.
Gary Woodley, 66, who used to run the former Aylsham Garden Centre, was jailed for four years in October 2018, after being convicted of stealing £480,000 from his 89-year-old mother, who has since died.
There was a confiscation hearing on Friday, at Norwich Crown Court, to claw back cash, but Stephen Spence prosecuting said that sale of assets were in progress and asked for an adjournment when it is hoped matters can be resolved.
The case was adjourned until April 24.
