By: Nina Burton | Latest Crime News | Sunday August 19 2012 11:33

 

A man who admitted stealing nearly $365,000 from a pokies trust is facing up to seven years in jail.

Shane Alvin Cosgrave switched his plea to guilty three days into his trial.

He admitted taking money from the South Auckland Community Trust which should have gone into community projects and organisations.

The money was used to run his own pub, lease a car, and give himself personal loans.
