An Argos worker has been sentenced after defrauding the company by almost £40,000.
Zara Iqbal, 23, of Como Avenue, Girlington, worked at the Forster Square branch in Bradford and had been making fraudulent refunds to various members of her family and extended family.
The money was then transferred back into her bank account, totalling just over £38,800.
Bradford Crown Court was told Iqbal stole the money as a result of pressure from an ex-partner to help with debts he had incurred from a drug habit. When caught she sent a cheque in full compensation for the fraud to Argos earlier this year.
She pleaded guilty to a single charge of fraud and was handed a suspended prison sentence with 240 hours of unpaid work.
