A woman has been re-bailed after being accused of the alleged theft of a five figure sum from Dover Athletic's accounts.

A statement released on Tuesday by the club said that during a routine internal accountancy audit at the Crabble stadium, it became apparent that the money was missing.

The police confirmed it received the report of alleged fraud on Thursday, October 1.

Her bail has been extended until Thursday, December 3.

Chairman Jim Parmenter said: "This is heart breaking for everyone involved at the club, we’ve all worked so hard to bring this club back from the brink and put it on a stable footing.

"While these events will not put the club in any form of financial difficulty, it is a significant sum of money and is bound to have an impact."
