A man from Douglas has appeared in court charged with stealing from Permanent Bank International.

55-year-old Duncan Jones appeared at Douglas Courthouse yesterday charged with 50 separate offences.

26 are for theft, 23 are for false accounting and two relate to forging documents - all allegedly took place between 2001 and 2009.

The case has been adjourned for three weeks - Jones has been bailed until his next appearance on February 17th when it's expected pleas will be entered.

Committal proceedings for the forgery charges, which can only be tried at the Court of General Gaol Delivery, have also been scheduled for March 24th.
