A YOUNG woman accused of converting thousands of pounds worth of criminal property into foreign currency has had her sheriff court trial pushed back.

Rebekka McCrimmon, 22, faces four charges under Proceeds of Crime Act legislation and denies the allegations.

The Bridge of Weir resident is said to have acquired and possessed criminal property to the value of £5,700 at Bank of Scotland on the village's Main Street, a flat in Johnstone, or elsewhere.

It is claimed McCrimmon converted the cash by purchasing £1,903.58 worth of foreign currency at Ramsdens in the Oak Mall, while she allegedly exchanged £1,849.51 at the Greenock shopping centre's TUI store.

She is said to have converted close to the remainder of the money at the Marks & Spencer store in Braehead.

At a hearing this week, solicitor Ellen Macdonald, acting on behalf of McCrimmon, from Elm Road in Bridge of Weir, asked for the previously scheduled March 6 trial to be adjourned.

Sheriff Clair McLachlan set a new date of August 5.
