A Llangwm man is facing numerous charges of stealing credit balances from estates.

Edgar Stephen Thomas, of Deerland Road, is facing 18 theft charges dating between April 2001 and July 2014.

It is alleged that Thomas, 57, stole a credit balance from Vaughan’s Radio Ltd, and credit balances and a car from several people’s estates.

No indication of plea was given when Thomas appeared before Haverfordwest magistrates on Tuesday, August 7.

The bench declined jurisdiction and Thomas was released on unconditional bail to appear at Swansea crown court on September 7.
