Ms Gibson manipulated financial systems to cover 45 transactions made to her personal bank accounts.

Her actions only came to light when she went on maternity leave and the irregularities were discovered.

The BBC reported that she admitted embezzling a total of £248,652 from the dealership in Cumbernauld Road in the east end of Glasgow between March 2015 and March 2018.

Ms Gibson created four credit notes that showed outstanding payments from Evans Halshaw.

However, the money was going directly into the bank account her wages were paid into.

Gibson initially denied stealing money from the company but confessed after Ford UK carried out their own investigation.

Ms Gibson later admitted that another bank account was also used to transfer money.

She was later questioned by police and gave a no comment interview.
