A MAN who defrauded a company out of nearly £7,000 is due to be sentenced.

Nicholas Hebson was said to have dishonestly obtained around £6,800 from the Plastic Centre.

The 37-year-old committed the offences in Barrow between November 13 and December 21 2022.

Hebson, of Coulton Street in Barrow, admitted three counts of fraud by false representation at a previous appearance at South Cumbria Magistrates' Court, according to court papers.

He is due to be sentenced today (Wednesday) after the case was adjourned to allow for a report to be produced.
