It's April 3rd. I'm Corey with the story. This is Edinburgh News Today, driven by AI. A 39-year-old admin assistant named Jennifer Conker, embezzled nearly 800,000 from her scrap metal employer over four years. She pleaded guilty in Edinburgh's Sheriff Court this week, to swiping the cast from Brookfield metals recycling in Linlithgau. Working solo in the office since 2016, Conker had full access to the computer system and made over 200 sneaky payments straight into her own bank. Account and twin sisters. The company caught on after spotting a shady invoice last September, confronted her, but she ghosted them completely and cut off contact. Police dug into bank records, found she blew the money on luxury cars, family gifts, and daily expenses while her sister Hazel Driver took over. 25,000 for two high-end land rovers with custom plates. Both sisters got arrested late last year, admitted everything openly to cops, and the judge kept them on bail while prepping social work reports for.

Sentencing next month.
