A man has been charged in connection with fraudulent use of a bank card after cards were stolen from a woman being treated for injuries during the aftermath of the Manchester Bomb attack.
Michael Popik (10/09/1992), of Rodney Street, Salford, has been charged with possession and control of a card for fraudulent use.
There is no evidence to say that Popik took the cards but he plead guilty to having been in possession and control of the card for fraudulent use. It has not been established how and who passed the cards onto him.
He was remanded to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court today, Thursday 20 July 2017, whereupon he received a 20 week sentence for fraud, 20 weeks for possessing an article for use in fraud, and six weeks for breaches of a previously suspended prison sentence. Sentences are to run consecutively, totalling 46 weeks imprisonment.
Michael Popik was also told to pay £75 compensation to the bank.
