An Aberdare woman who stole almost 10-thousand dollars from her employer to feed her poker machine addiction has avoided time behind bars.
Casey Maybury has been given a one year suspended gaol sentence, 300 hours of community service and has been ordered to repay the money.
The 20-year-old stole the cash from a loan business in NEWCASTLE last year and has also been placed on a 3-and-a-half year good behaviour bond.
