A WOMAN who stole from her bosses has had sentence adjourned for a psychiatric report.

Averil Morgan, 28, had had "areas of concern," in her life such as bullying, a paracetamol overdose when she was 13 and an offence committed against her, Burnley Crown Court heard.

Morgan, of Prairie Crescent, Burnley, had earlier admitted theft, making a false instrument, deception and false accounting and has been committed for sentence by the Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale Magistrates.

She was bailed until December 16 by Judge Barbara Watson.

The judge went on to tell her: "You must understand the fact you are getting bail is no indication as to what type of sentence you will ultimately receive. Custody is going to be very much at the forefront of the judge's mind.".
