Chantal Loring spent more than $35,000 on online gambling using her employer's credit card
A Prince George woman who used her employer's credit cards to satisfy a penchant for online gambling has been sentenced to a 16-month conditional sentence order - effectively house arrest - followed by 20 months probation.
She signed an agreement that the cards would be used only for the bookings she made as part of her employment but within a month the credit card company's fraud department alerted her employer that the cards were being used to transfer money to a PlayNow account. At the same hearing, she was also sentenced to an 18-month conditional discharge for shoplifting at a Prince George grocery store in February 2018.
"The RCMP arrested Ms. Loring at work rather than serving her a summons at her residence. Though this was humiliating, Ms. Loring feels that was the wakeup call she desperately needed and may well have saved her life.
