A JEWELLERY shop worker stole thousands from his employers in a Herefordshire town.

Neil Meek entered a guilty plea when he appeared before magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard the 49-year-old had stolen £2,639.90 from his employers, David Christopher Jewellers, in Ross-on-Wye, on November 23.

The case was adjourned for a pre-sentencing report to be carried out by probation.

Meek, of Merrivale Lane, Ross, will appear before Hereford magistrates for sentencing on January 5.
