In the last two months of her employment, the 28-year-old stole money from four customers, with the thefts only being discovered when one of them queried receiving a letter about money being withdrawn from a dormant account.
TSB Bank teller stole $28,000 from customers to feed her gambling addictionHow far do people go to feed a gambling addiction?
In this story we have a young bank teller, 28 years old lady, who stole 28,000$ from four different elders who were suffering from health and cognitive problems. Her goal was to fuel a gambling addiction, as presented by the defense at the court.
Families must be attentive to their elders when going to the bank and dealing with money in general. Scammers and thieves are everywhere and always ready to take advantage of the vulnerability of such individuals at an advanced age.
I think there is more of this kind of a bank teller in other banks doing the same thing as this teller on the story does. The teller might have noticed that most of the elderly people that are visiting the bank have some sights issues that's why should would have the mind to do this things. What the gambler did is part of theft and the court should judge it like that.
