A former dairy industry scientist has been jailed for six years for fraudulently using customer funds for personal and business expenses.
Waikato man Trevor James Lock appeared for sentencing in the Auckland District Court today after being found guilty in a Serious Fraud Office case.
Lock, in his mid-50s, was found guilty last month of 18 Crimes Act charges and two SFO Act charges.
Lock was the director of food and health company Nubiotics, which collapsed in 2014.
Through Nubiotics and another company, Lock entered into a number of contracts to supply dairy and honey products.
