Delph man to face fraud trial

A DELPH man has been committed for trial at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court, accused of fraud by false representation against local estate agents Ryder and Dutton.

Martin Frostick (52), of New Barn, allegedly sent faxes to 500 Ryder and Dutton clients claiming the estate agency was being wound up.

The case and management hearing will take place on November 18.

Frostick indicated earlier that he would plead not guilty.

He was released on conditional bail subject to him not contacting any employee or director of Ryder and Dutton.
