A former South Yorkshire Police worker is facing jail after she pleaded
guilty to stealing more than £275,000 from the force and her mother.

Jacqueline Fletcher, 48, stole £116,500 from the sale of her mother’s house
and pocketed a further £63,500 in benefits.

She also admitted stealing £95,800 while working as a property store team
leader at Attercliffe Police Station in Sheffield.

Fletcher, of Boundary Walk, Rotherham, will be sentenced on 9 August.

Sheffield Crown Court heard the offences took place between November 2011
and July 2016.

Granting Fletcher bail ahead of sentencing, Judge Rachel Harrison said: “Get
yourself ready, I’m afraid the sentence is very likely to be immediate
custody.”

Fletcher left the force in 2015.
