A nurse from Merstham has pleaded guilty to Housing fraud.

46-year-old Nicoleta Mezei formally of Radstock Way was investigated by Reigate and Banstead Council, following a tip off from a concerned neighbour.

Between 2016 and 2018, she sublet her social housing property to others, whilst living elsewhere, gaining at least £6,500 in rental income.

Mezei originally denied the allegations when being interviewed during the fraud investigation, before pleading guilty later.

A 12-month community order of 100 hours unpaid work was sentenced, along with an order to pay one thousand pounds to the council.
