The director of a Plymouth letting agency has been re-bailed and will appear in court again in January.
Heather Crabb, owner of Drake Homes in Plymouth, was arrested almost a year ago charged with fraud, theft and money-laundering offences.
In February this year we reported that the allegations involved around 100 properties managed by the firm; it is believed that many of these are properties let to students.
In late 2016 Crabb issued a statement after her arrest saying: “Due to continued ill health, we are informing you that the portfolio of Drake Homes is being transferred to a reputable agent who will look after your interests. We are in the process of completing your final accounts accordingly and the new agent, who is well established and very experienced will be in touch in due course. Kind regards. Heather.”
Now it has been revealed that Crabb has been re-bailed until January 30, 2018.
