Mum-of-12 Cheryl Prudham charged with handling nearly £11k ‘stolen from parking meters’
Shameless state sponger is accused of handling stolen cash ex-hubby nicked while working as a collection man in Kent
MUM-of-12 Cheryl Prudham has been charged over the theft of £10,758 from parking meters.
It is alleged her estranged husband Robert Prudham, 31, and Jacob Underdown, 26, stole the coins while working as collection men.
Cheryl, 34, is said to have spent some of the cash on a holiday.
The Prudhams, of Skelmersdale, Lancs, and Underdown, of Sheerness, Kent, appeared at Medway magistrates’ court in Kent yesterday.
The two men denied three charges of theft while Cheryl, accused of handling stolen cash, did not speak at the hearing.
All three were bailed to appear at Maidstone crown court next month.
In July, a petition demanding a cut in Cheryl’s reported £40,800 benefits hit 15,000 signatures. It came after she said she was saving for a boob job and wants baby 13 with a sperm donor.
