Guard splashed out with stolen bank card

-

A St Andrews University security guard who stole a student’s bank card and used it to buy tobacco, a Snickers bar and a takeaway has been ordered to perform unpaid work.

Oceanne Camus, 25, bought £33-worth of goods with the card on January 26 2019.

Camus, who was studying to become a support worker, previously pled guilty to the theft at Dundee Sheriff Court.

The student lost her card following a night out at the students’ union.

Camus went to a garage in Dundee to buy a Yazoo drink, a Snickers and tobacco before ordering food via Just Eat from her home in the city.

Fiscal depute Sue Ruta said previously: “The student contacted her bank at around 3am on January 27 to cancel the card.

“She discovered transactio­ns had been made without her knowledge.

“The purchases at the garage were captured on CCTV.

“Police inquiries led them to the accused and she was arrested.

“She made admissions throughout her interview.”

Camus told police she was sorry and that she would “never do that again”.

She had previously admitted stealing the card while working as a security guard.

Camus went to the Forfar Road garage to buy tobacco, chocolate and a drink worth £20.99 before making a Just Eat order worth £12.10.

Sheriff Lorna Drummond QC ordered Camus to perform 120 hours of unpaid work.

Youngsters have been reported behaving dangerousl­y on main roads as well as in public places such as Clatto Country Park and Camperdown Park.

Sergeant Paul Haigh, who is based at Downfield Police Station, said: “This type of antisocial
