A Crosby man will stand trial after being accused of wrongly taking more than £260,000.

37-year-old Philip Sean McCarthy, of Main Road, appeared at Douglas Courthouse on Friday.

He denied obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception whilst working at Döhle between January 2011 and May 2016.

He also entered a not guilty plea to a charge of stealing £369 from the company between May 2014 and January 2015.

A pre-trial review will take place on September 25th - there was no application for bail and he was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
