Gambling addict escapes sanctions for stealing mum's inheritance money

A shameful gambling addict who embezzled her mother's inheritance to feed her addiction has escaped punishment.

The suspect lost everything when she broke into her mother's safe, which held £10,000 in cash for internet gambling. After her father passed away, the defendant's mother received £15,000 from Newcastle Moot Court and gave her daughter £5,000.

Money was found to have been transferred to another bank account and used for shopping and gambling, according to an investigation.
