A woman who stole thousands of pounds from her employer will be sentenced at crown court.

Stephanie Graysmark of Princesses Parade, Crayford, appeared at Medway Magistrates Court on Wednesday, charged with stealing £176,089 belonging to White Horse Leisure Centre Ltd in Sheerness and £1089.99 belonging to Maureen Wharton.

Miss Graysmark, 33, pleaded guilty to both charges, although her solicitor said the exact amount stolen would be disputed at a later hearing.

The court also heard White Horse Leisure Centre had been sent into liquidation as a result of the theft.

The case was adjourned to be heard at Crown Court, at a date yet to be determined.
