A woman has denied stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds from two firms she worked for over a two-year period.

Megan Reynolds, from Rainham, also denied stealing cash from several people to invest in Cryptocurrency to make a gain for herself when she appeared in the dock at Medway Magistrates Court.

The 26-year-old had been charged with six fraud offences, including two counts of fraud by abuse of position and four counts of fraud by false representation.

The court heard Reynolds, of Fruit Fields Drive, Rainham, is accused of abusing her position to make a gain of £101,332 from CSL Power Systems in Farningham, near Dartford, between November 6, 2019 and March 26, 2021.

She was also charged with abusing her position at another firm in Sevenoaks, ATL Retail Limited, when it is said she dishonestly made a gain of £18,000 between April 26, 2021 and January 17, 2022.

She is also accused of defrauding Nicola Bishop out of £300 after claiming she would invest the cash into Cryptocurrency on October 1, 2021.

Reynolds is also accused of dishonestly using Ms Bishop's bank card fraudulently to make a gain of £609 on November 7, 2021.

She was also charged with making a gain of £200 by saying she would buy Cryptocurrency for another woman Sophie Bishop on October 1, 2021.

And she was also charged in relation to claiming to be Callum Bishop when it is alleged she entered into a financial agreement with Creation Financial Services, to make a gain of £1,465 between November 20, 2019 and August 31, 2021.

Reynolds pleaded not guilty to all six charges when she appeared at Medway Magistrates' Court on Monday April 24 and District Judge William Nelson sent the case to Maidstone Crown Court to be dealt with.

Reynolds was granted bail until her next appearance at the same court on May 22.
