Solicitor remand on theft charges

A former Anglesey solicitor has appeared before magistrates in Wrexham on eight charges of stealing clients' money.

Stephen Puleston Williams, 50, from Holyhead, was alleged to have stolen a total of £184,000 over three years.

He faced a further charge of preparing a transfer deed for a property in Holyhead with forged signatures.

He was remanded on bail for six weeks while papers are prepared for the case to be heard in the crown court.
