AN “OVERWHELMED” second hand car seller committed a £160,000 fraud at a post office in an effort to keep the business afloat.
Anthony Chediak was spared an immediate prison term by a judge at Bournemouth Crown Court this week, one-and-a-half years after the postmaster was jailed for fraud by abuse of position.
Chediak presented four cheques totalling £160,000 to Newtown Post Office in Sea View Road in September 2017.
These were to be paid into the accounts of two businesses – Coastline Cars Limited and Coastline Vehicle Supply Limited, both registered to offices in North Road, Poole, which he was running at the time.
