A boss who took an employee he caught stealing to the police station with a sign saying "Thief" around his neck has paid 13,000 pounds after the criminal sued for "humiliation," the Daily Telegraph reports.

Simon Cremer took Mark Gilbert to the police station after discovering he had written out a company check to himself and taken it to Cash Converters in October 2008.

Gilbert was paraded through the streets with a cardboard sign that read: "Thief. I stole 845 pounds am on my way to the police station."

He admitted the crime to police and was let off with a caution but Cremer was charged with false imprisonment.

Now Cremer, who runs a flooring firm, has paid 5,000 pounds in compensation and 8,000 pounds in court costs to the worker who stole from him.

员工偷钱受辱 老板被罚

       一位老板将一偷钱的员工扭送至警察局时在他脖子上挂了一个写有“小偷”的牌子,结果被其状告“侮辱”,损失13000英镑。

       据英国《每日电讯报》报道,2008年10月,西蒙·克里默发现员工马克·吉尔伯特私自开了一张公司支票并去兑换现金,于是将他游街至警局,并给他挂了一个硬纸板,写道:“小偷。我偷了845英镑,正在去警局的路上。”

       据悉,马克向警方承认了犯罪事实,受到警告后便被释放了,而克里默后来却被指控非法拘禁。

       现在,经营着一家地板公司的他不仅支付了8000英镑的诉讼费,还赔偿给那位偷他东西的员工5000英镑。
