Grace Angela Palmer, who pleaded guilty to stealing $2.2 million from Vision Plastics Inc., the small Langley-based manufacturing company she worked for, got 4 1/2 years in prison
A former bookkeeper for a small Langley-based manufacturing company who stole $2.2 million from her employer over the course of 12 years has been sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison.
She also hired a document shredding company to bring in a container and a shredder which she used to shred documents for nearly two weeks before she was suspended from her job. Palmer was terminated two weeks later, in September 2012. At the hearing, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Murray Blok was told by the lawyers that it was not clear where all of the money that was stolen went.
“To this aggravating circumstance I would include the number of fraudulent transactions carried out and the deliberate and at least moderately complex steps needed both to carry them out and to conceal them.”
