A Sittingbourne woman has admitted stealing more than £69,000 from her employers.

Carla Loftus, of Reams Way, Kemsley, pleaded guilty to defrauding Maidstone-based Southern Glass of thousands of pounds while in her role as a general admin.

She appeared at Maidstone Magistrates' Court last Thursday after failing to appear for her first hearing on Monday, April 2.

As a result a warrant for her arrest was put out by magistrates.

The 32-year-old was charged with taking £69,354 from the windows, doors and conservatory specialists between January 2020 and January 2021.

She was released on bail to appear before Maidstone Crown Court at a date and time to be confirmed.
