The boss of an auctioneering firm at the centre of a fraud case is due in court. Jon King, 64, from Abingdon, was arrested following a police investigation into his business, Cameo Fine Art Auctioneers, formerly based in Midgham, Berkshire. He will face a fraud charge when he appears before Reading magistrates on October 14.

He has been summoned to appear the same day as Glenn Norcliffe, aged 62, of Marcuse Road, Caterham, Surrey, who has been charged with four counts of fraud in connection with the business between June 1, 2008, and May 1 last year.

The firm suspended trading in May last year following numerous complaints.
