A Manchester bookkeeper has been jailed after syphoning more than £100,000 from a solicitors firm.
Kelsey Hardman, 33 and from Heywood, was sentenced to 27 months in prison at Manchester Crown Court yesterday, 26 June.
She pleaded guilty to theft at a previous hearing.
The court heard how since 2009, Hardman stole money from the company she worked for as a bookkeeper. The 33-year-old directly transferred funds to her personal bank account instead of to other businesses, as well as overpaying her wages and creating false documents to cover her tracks.
As part of an investigation, it was discovered the theft amounted to approximately £100,000, while Hardman also failed to pay £37,000 worth of taxes.
