A senior NatWest bank manager who stole £344,000 from cash machines over eight years has avoided jail, despite admitting to funding a gambling addiction with the stolen funds.
John Toms, 44, exploited his position at the Moorgate branch in the City of London, where he had exclusive access to the branch's ATMs. The thefts, which spanned from January 2016 to April 2024, were only uncovered following two internal investigations.
