Guyon Gavin Scott accused of 45 larceny, forgery and utter prescription charges in Tamworth

The Leader can reveal Guyon Gavin Scott faces 45 larceny, forgery and utter prescription charges after an investigation by Tamworth police.

The 49-year-old did not appear in Tamworth Local Court this week for the first time since he was charged in September.

The Leader understands Scott is a medical professional with a background in intensive care delivery.

Solicitor Harry Pendlebury appeared as an agent for Scott's lawyer in court and asked magistrate Julie Soars for the case to be adjourned without entering any pleas.

"This is the first mention," he told the court.

He said he was instructed by the principal solicitor to ask for an adjournment for six weeks "to make representations".

"It's got 45 sequences," Mr Pendlebury said.

Ms Soars agreed to adjourn the case but said pleas must be entered when the case returns to court in December.

The court heard Scott was not on bail.
