A former Rubery bank manager has been sent to prison after stealing £130,000 from her family's bank accounts, to fund her son's £100-a-day gambling habit.
Alison Thomas, who managed banks in Tenbury Wells and Rubery, began a four-year scam when her son needed the cash while he was at university.
Thomas, aged 49, of Buttermere Road, Burlish Park, Stourport, pleaded guilty at Worcester Crown Court to 11 offences of false accounting which occurred between 1998 and 2002.
Thomas, who worked for Barclays for 20 years, was sacked but then obtained a job at the Halifax bank. She lost that job when she confessed her dishonesty to bosses.
