DETECTIVES are continuing to investigate the alleged theft of cash from a non-profit making social housing company.
David Andrew Aitken, 40, the company secretary, was arrested at his home in Ebchester, near Consett, County Durham, in March, over the suspected theft of more than £120,000 from Renaissance Social Housing in Gosforth, Newcastle.
Mr Aitken, who publicly denied any wrong-doing at the time of his arrest, was released on police bail to allow inquiries to be made.
On returning to a police station yesterday, Mr Aitken was granted another period of bail pending further inquiries.
A spokeswoman for the police said he has been asked to answer the latest bail period in two months.
