James Robert Edward Gilbert, 25, will be sentenced in September. The offences were committed between April and July last year.

The States had previously confirmed that Gilbert’s public service vehicle permit had been suspended with immediate effect as soon as it became apparent he was subject to a police investigation.

A Stagecoach spokesman had also previously confirmed an employee had been arrested, and said it was cooperating fully with the authorities.

The company had said it was unable to comment further while the police investigation was still active.
