Warwickshire man stole £300k from firm to fund luxury trips to Walt Disney World
A Warwickshire man who used company credit cards to book luxury holidays to Florida has been jailed. David Carr was said to have lived a 'lavish lifestyle' and splurged £300,000 on trips to Walt Disney World. Carr, 34, worked for an IT company in Bromsgrove and siphoned £300,000 over an eight-year period. His actions left the firm in major difficulty and led to it collapsing into administration, West Mercia Police said. Detectives launched an investigation into Carr in August 2022. He was arrested in October 2022 and charged in July 2023. READ MORE: YouTuber who visited Coventry and finds young boy overdosed says 'just a joke' Carr was said to have lived 'well beyond his means' and used the stolen money to buy computers, designer exercise bikes, and high-tech gadgets. Police will be recouping the funds under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Carr, of St Laurence Way, Warwickshire, pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud between April 2014 and August 2022. He was sentenced to four years and seven months in jail at Worcester Crown Court. PC James Hall said: 'We are pleased to get this custodial sentence for Carr, who abused his position of trust as the financial director of a company to fund a luxury lifestyle well beyond his means. 'His eight years of stealing company money also led to the firm he worked for going into administration, impacting the jobs of fellow employees, too. Fraud can often be seen as a victimless crime, but the actions of criminals like Carr can have a big impact on companies, their customers, and staff, which was certainly the case here.'
