Morrisons employee denies fraud

A MORRISONS employee has appeared in court charged with fraud.

Andrew Skelton, a senior internal auditor, denied abusing his position to fraudulently disclose personal data at the supermarket chain’s Bradford headquarters.

The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between November 2013 and March last year, came to light following an investigation at the company’s head office.

Mr Skelton, 43, from Liverpool, is accused of using a computer to gain unauthorised access to a programme or data with the intent to commit fraud, knowingly or recklessly disclosing personal data, and conspiring to commit fraud by abusing his position.

He was granted bail by Bradford Magistrates’ Court and will appear at the city’s crown court later in the month.
