SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Ania Wadsworth, 28, admitted stealing 921,717 pounds ($1.486 million) in five years from Lloyds TSB in Golders Green, a neighborhood in North London, The Independent reported. She started by stealing small amounts of money when she began working at the bank, eventually taking thousands of pounds at once, skimming the money while filling cash machines.

But jurors also heard evidence Wadsworth spent none of the money on herself, living within her means while her boyfriend, Keith "Junior" Preddie, 20, of Romford in Essex was buying BMWs, vacations and crack cocaine.

Preddie continued to threaten Wadsworth and her family and force her to steal after they broke up, the jury heard. He was convicted of money laundering.

Wadsworth was arrested in 2007 after a national audit.

"We found no evidence in her finances to show she had any gain", Detective Sgt. Suzanne Ferris of the City of London Police said after Wadsworth's acquittal.
