A court worker who stole almost £98,000 from the Isle of Man Courts of Justice has been sent to prison.

49-year-old Katrina Surridge was handed a two year sentence at Douglas Courthouse today.

The Ramsey woman had previously pleaded guilty to three counts of theft, five charges of false accounting and one of falsifying records.

Surridge, who was a corporate service manager, stole cash and cheques which were intended for government between December 2014 and July this year.
