A mum-of-five helped herself to £111,000 from a hotel she was working at to fund a gambling addiction and ‘live well beyond her means’. Because of the loss, the hotel owner was forced to take out loans to keep the business afloat.
Mr Recorder Simon Goldberg KC sentenced Lowery to 28 months behind bars.
Prosecutor Emma Dowling told the court bank records show Lowery had transferred around £90,000 of the stolen cash to a total of 26 different online gambling sites. Prosecutors started proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act, in a bid to get at least some of the money back but Miss Dowling said there is none left.
