A man who stole £1,500 from club in Dundee has lost his licence to drive buses and coaches.
Kevin Freeston, of Kinneff Crescent, was called before the traffic commissioner after being found guilty of theft at the sheriff court in June 2012.
He had originally been charged with embezzling more than £3,000 from the club.
Sheriff Jamie Gilmour ordered him to pay back the money and to carry out 160 hours community service.
Freeston, who first appeared before a deputy traffic commissioner in August 2012, failed to attend the second hearing before Miss Joan Aitken this month.
The August hearing had been adjourned after Mr Freeston indicated he would appeal against the original conviction.
Miss Aitken’s office could find no record of this appeal being lodged, and Freeston also failed to provide evidence that he had submitted an appeal.
She concluded Freeston had been willing to mislead or lie about the appeal and failed to attend the hearing without good cause.
“I find that Mr Freeston is not fit by reason of his conduct the conduct being that leading to the conviction by the sheriff and the subsequent conduct in relation to attending before me or a deputy,” she stated.
Miss Aitken also ordered that he would be disqualified from driving coaches and buses for three years.
