A woman who stole a quarter of a million pounds continuously lied as she attempted to escape being brought to justice.
Angela Boote was sentenced to three years and four months in jail this week, with ECHO readers sharing their thoughts on the woman who managed to steal a total of £255,854 from her employers who she had worked for since 1994. For a number of years, the Fazakerley based mum redirected money meant for the clients of Liverpool insurance brokers Griffiths and Armour to herself and her family members.
The money was spent on a "lavish lifestyle that consisted of expensive holidays, clothes and jewellery, Liverpool Crown Court heard earlier this week. Suspicions were first raised in September 2020 when Boote was away on holiday. A client complained to the company that a £224 refund that they were due to receive had not entered their account.
