|

An aspiring model stole £46,000 from the bank where she worked - and splashed the cash on a boob job, dental work and liposuction.

Pretty Rachael Claire Martin, 24, spent thousands on cosmetic procedures, bought hair extensions and went on wild shopping sprees.

She took the cash from tills at Barclays Bank in St Austell, Cornwall, over an eight-week period when she was working there as a clerk.

Rachael Claire Martin stole from Barclays to pay for liposuction

The mother-of-one is believed to have splashed out £4,000 on breast surgery and £1,700 on expensive dental work, including treatment to whiten her teeth.

Blonde Martin is said to have travelled to Bristol on shopping trips and also paid out for liposuction from the stolen money.

She initially denied 25 separate counts of theft from the bank between 1 September and 3 October in 2010.

But at Truro Crown Court on Monday - on what should have been the first day of her week-long trial - she admitted a single charge of theft covering the same amount of money and dates.

Martin, who was dressed in black with a leopard print coat and attended court alone, spoke only to confirm her name and enter a guilty plea during the short hearing.

Mr Recorder Jeremy Wright released her from the dock on unconditional bail and ordered pre-sentence reports to be carried out by the Probation Service.

The court was told how Martin stole amounts of either £1,000 or £2,000 a time, putting the funds into her own account.

On one occasion she swindled £6,000 from the Barclays branch.

Police were called when the theft was realised - but Martin had allegedly already spent all of the stolen cash.

Martin is due to appear before Truro Crown Court for sentencing in September.
