A 50-year-old man has been spared jail after using his company fuel card to fund his expensive drug habit. David Stephenson, from Rochdale, used the card 125 times in a month to buy nearly £7836.90 worth of petrol.

David Stephenson, 50, was spared jail after quickly coming clean and showing genuine remorse

But instead of filling up company vehicles, he filled up cars used by his drug dealers in exchange for their illicit deliveries, a court was told. Stephenson quickly came clean after being questioned by his bosses, admitting he had been battling with a ‘pernicious drug habit’, and was sacked. The 50-year-old, who also suffered from physical and mental health issues, then ‘turned back to drugs, which had been a feature of his youth’ and his habit quickly spiralled out of control, said Beth Caunce, defending.
