Gambling Catholic priest jailed for stealing £96,000

A Catholic priest has been jailed for 10 months for stealing £96,000 from his parish in North Ayrshire to fund an online gambling habit.
Fr Graeme Bell, 41, embezzled the cash from St Mary's (Our Lady, Star of the Sea) in Saltcoats between March and May 2015 to play online roulette. He left the parish in June last year after financial irregularities were reported to police.
