Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here A former jewellery store manager in the United Kingdom was sentenced to 28 months in prison after posting selfies wearing stolen merchandise and sending them to her coworkers, Humberside Police said in a statement. Lucy Roberts, 39, frequently took jewellery home with her during the year she worked at a high-end shop, police said, telling suspicious coworkers she "was conducting work at home and sorting stock for the workshop." The police statement does not name the store. Police said Lucy Roberts, 39, frequently took jewellery home with her during the year she worked at a high-end shop (CNN) It was only when Roberts quit and went on holiday that her colleagues realised where the jewellery went, the statement says. She began sending her former coworkers selfies from a cruise, decked out in items taken from the shop. "Without a care in the world, dripping in diamonds, thinking she had deceived everybody," Detective Sergeant Krista Wilkinson said in the police news release. Police found "thousands of pounds worth of jewellery strewn around in boxes beneath the bed and in cupboards," after searching her home, the statement says. In total, Roberts stole more than $260,000 in diamonds, gold, silver, "bespoke jewellery" and cash from her employer, according to Wilkinson. CNN was not able to determine whether Roberts has legal representation. Roberts was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport, according to police. (Getty) Police said Roberts initially denied she had stolen any stock from her employer, insisting she had borrowed some of the jewellery from a coworker and that they planted the other items in her bags, but she later entered a guilty plea for theft by an employee, receiving 28 months in prison. Roberts was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport, according to police. They took her into custody after finding her "wearing a substantial amount of stolen jewellery" with more pilfered merchandise in her suitcase, according to the statement. Body camera footage from the arrest shows Roberts removing more jewellery as she was escorted through Heathrow Airport … in an attempt to dispose of it," police added. The store where Roberts formerly worked said it is "pleased to finally have closure on the matter after several years," according to the news release.

Nicola Gobbo's Lawyer X lawsuit against state of Victoria dismissed
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here BREAKING Israel launches attack on Iran Former gangland lawyer-turned-informer Nicola Gobbo has lost her lawsuit against the state of Victoria after claiming police compromised her safety when she was exposed to have double-crossed clients . The former barrister sued the state for at least $800,000 in damages over claims she was groomed by police to become a human source in late 2005. Also known as 'Lawyer X', she claimed police exploited her vulnerabilities and distress due to close ties to gangland figures, including Tony Mokbel, by offering her protection, support and promises to protect her identity in exchange for information on her gangland clients. A supplied screengrab taken from and ABC News tv interview featuring Melbourne lawyer Nicola Gobbo, who has been revealed as Lawyer X. (PR IMAGE) But her cover was blown in March 2019 when she was exposed as 'Informer 3838' and 'Lawyer X'. Justice Melinda Richards today dismissed Gobbo's lawsuit as she handed down her judgment in Victoria's Supreme Court. She said once Gobbo decided to become an informer "exposure was an inherent risk". "So the state can't be held liable. Therefore it is unnecessary to assess damages," she said. Gobbo was registered three times as a police informer in the 1990s to mid-2000s, when she gave handlers information about underworld figures. During the judge-alone trial, her lawyers said their client suffered psychological injury since her double identity was exposed. She was forced into the witness protection program with her two children and her depression worsened as they moved overseas for their safety. The state has fought each of Gobbo's claims, arguing she voluntarily became an informer and she could have left the role at any time. Nicola Gobbo and her one-time client Tony Mokbel. (Supplied) During the trial, Gobbo gave evidence by video live stream from a secret location with her image hidden inside the court to protect her new identity. Gobbo signed the bar roll at 25, becoming the youngest woman in the state to do so, and quickly found herself representing gangland clients, including the Mokbel family and Carl Williams' clan. A royal commission found her position as both an informer and a barrister could have affected more than 1000 convictions. Former clients Tony Mokbel, Faruk Orman and Zlate Cvetanovski have successfully had convictions overturned since her role was uncovered in March 2019. Gobbo has been ordered to pay the costs for the state. In 2010, Gobbo sued Victoria Police, claiming they failed to protect her as a witness and settled out of court for almost $3 million. courts Victoria news Victoria Police national CONTACT US Auto news:Is this the next Subaru WRX?
