Man bailed over big cheese fraud

Azam Ahmed stole over 24 tonnes of gorgonzola and cheddar cheese

A man has admitted defrauding a specialist food firm in Glasgow of 24 tonnes of cheese.

Azam Ahmed, 26, from the city's Woodlands area, used a false name and company to place orders worth more than £42,000 from Lactalis McLelland.

He sent a fake cheque to pay for the cheddar and gorgonzola then sold the goods to another firm in Wales.

At Glasgow Sheriff Court, sentence on Ahmed was deferred until next month for reports. He was released on bail.
