She was tasked with taking customers’ bank details at a Farnell Land Rover showroom
Hargeaves, who has two adult children and a grandchild, has two previous convictions for shop thefts dating back to 1991.Mitigating, Stuart Field said she had worked at the garage for two years without incident.He said: “She had just come out of a seven-year relationship in which she not only suffered physical abuse, she also suffered financially as well.
“None of this excuses her dipping into the coffers of her employer’s customers. It’s something she bitterly regrets.”He said she has since worked in Dubai, has cleared the debts and has saved up to help pay back the money stolen. Judge Simon Phillips QC told Hargreaves: “In a nub, you defrauded nine individuals who placed their trust in you and your employer.“You have many people down but you have worked hard to clear your debt and can repay the sums stolen.”He jailed her for 12 months, suspended for 18 months, and ordered she repay the £2,377 owed.
