Ill-gotten gains | Office employee goes on £10k spending spree using cash stolen from work

An office worker conned her employer out of over £10,000 before going on a spending spree, a court has heard.

Leonie Seavor was employed by Green Man Environmental Services in Herefordshire when she started defrauding the company, according to the Hereford Times.

Using the company's cash, the 37-year-old took to retail sites like eBay and Amazon, gaining a total of over £10,000 worth of goods. 

At Kidderminster Magistrates Court, Seavor pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud. She was handed a 12 month community order which includes 80 hours of unpaid work and 15 days of probation appointments.
