A Cornish businessman who stole public donations from two charities has been sentenced to three years in jail. Leigh Douglas Windsor was sentenced at Plymouth Crown Court to 3 years imprisonment for stealing money from air ambulance charities.
Windsor admitted to stealing £273,000 from the Wales Air Ambulance Trust and the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Trust. Robert Edwards, a manager for Windsor’s firm, was given a suspended sentence and ordered to pay £1,000 in costs.
Detective Constable David Buckley said Windsor and Edwards had abused the trust of people who were supporting life-saving charities. This case is set to affect public donations in the future and Judge Francis Gilbert expressed his concern over this speculation.
