A woman who swindled a quarter of a million pounds from her employers lied repeatedly as she desperately tried to avoid being brought to justice.
Angela Boote was jailed for three years and four months earlier this week after stealing a total of £255,854 through her role at Liverpool insurance brokers Griffiths and Armour. The 52-year-old was a trusted and well liked employee and had worked for the company since 1994.
Yet over the course of a number of years the mum, who lived in Fazakerley, redirected cash intended for clients to bank accounts linked to herself and her family members. Liverpool Crown Court heard earlier this week how Boote spent the cash to fund a “lavish lifestyle” of expensive holidays, clothes and jewellery.
