Fraud by Director: How Gray Played the System

Serious Consequences for the Fraudster
- Prison sentence: 2 years 10 months
- Director disqualified for 6 years
Detective Constable Neil Lofthouse, leading the investigation at Loddon Valley police station, said: “Gray has been convicted for transferring a six-figure sum from company accounts, seriously harming the business and his partners.”
He added: “Thames Valley Police take all fraud allegations seriously and are committed to pursuing justice.”
