Two former bank workers were sentenced to prison yesterday for their roles in the theft of $1.3 million from Scotiabank's Nicholl's Town branch in 2008.
Supreme Court Justice Indra Charles jailed Natasha Evans, an assistant branch manager, and Tremelle Taylor, a teller, for 15 years and 10 years respectively.
The money has still not been recovered.
Loan officer Byron Roberts was sentenced to 12 months in prison under the terms of a plea deal.
Roberts, who worked as a loan officer, pleaded guilty in relation to five counts,

totaling $13,500. Roberts had until Friday to repay the money that he admitted stealing or another 12 months would be added to his sentence. It is unclear if he paid.
Charles ignored an appeal from the prosecutor Ambrose Armbrister to give Roberts a stiffer penalty for breaching the agreement. He faced a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Armbrister argued that Roberts failed to keep his promise to help with the recovery of the stolen money and to come clean about all he knew about the theft.
However, Charles said Roberts pleaded guilty because she accepted the sentence contained in the agreements.
Charles said, "Justice would not be seen to be done. I am bound by the plea agreements that I sanctioned."
Jeffery Lloyd represented Roberts. Roger Gomez Jr. represented Evans and Romauld Ferreira appeared for Taylor.
