A Glasgow woman who embezzled more than £248,000 from a car dealership has been jailed for 16 months.
The 31-year-old Andrea Gibson stole from Evans Halshaw over a three-year period while she was working as an accounts assistant for the east end dealership.
Gibson told the court she took the cash to help with her brother's gambling debt.
The mother-of-one “manipulated financial systems” to cover 45 transactions made to her personal bank accounts.
