A woman, who found herself in control
of £5,000 in illegal funds transferred to an online gambling account
after a banking scam, will now have to do 160 hours of community
service work.
Jobless Sarah Moore, 50, (pictured) of
Hollywoods, Courtwood Lane, Croydon never got her hands on the cash
and has signed it over to the bank.
She pleaded guilty at Croydon Crown
Court to converting criminal property between March 23, 2009 and
October 15, last year.
The court heard an individual known
only as 'Rob' moved money stolen from Santander Bank to the Corals
Bookmaker's account.
He found it impossible to withdraw the
loot so allowed Moore to take charge of the account, but it was
frozen by suspicious Corals staff and the defendant was later
arrested.
