A former employee at one of Bermuda’s top law firms has been handed a two-year suspended prison sentence for stealing hundreds of dollars from its lawyers.

Marilyn Darrell took cheque books from the desks of Wendell Hollis and William Cox of Cox Hallett Wilkinson, signed them, and exchanged them for cash and groceries at a supermarket.

The Canadian, who was an administrator at the firm, was arrested after being caught on CCTV and identified by Mr. Cox.
