A ‘hard-up’ bride who fleeced her boss of almost £170k is caught after inviting him to her slap-up wedding.
Kirsty Lane, 29 fleeced her boss of almost £170,000 was caught after inviting him to her slap-up wedding.
There was a white Rolls-Royce, fireworks, a harpist, saxophonist, magician, two bands, a DJ and a free bar in the lavishly-decorated Tudor-built hall.
Lane, who earned less than £20,000, even bought her bridesmaids’ dresses using company accounts and gave them jewel-encrusted iPods — and herself a jewel-encrusted iPad case.
Mr Sutton’s suspicions about the £40,000 wedding were confirmed days later when the firm found discrepancies in their accounts.
Mum-of-one Lane was arrested before she and new hubby Graham could fly off on honeymoon to Mexico, also paid for by her fiddles.
She admitted ten counts of fraud worth £38,000 at Leyland Magistrates’ Court in Lancashire and asked for 112 counts to be considered.
Lane, of Adlington, was bailed until October 13 ahead of sentencing at Preston Crown Court.
Her boss, Peter Sutton was left speechless by the extravagance laid on by “hard-up” part-time accounts clerk Kirsty Lane.
