A CHEATING finance manager stole more than £180,000 from her firm over four years — splashing the cash on holidays and high-end store shopping.

Anita Mirmohammadi, 31, jetted to Mexico and Turkey and spent big at Mercedes-Benz, Harrods and Selfridges, a court was told.

She was nabbed at Gatwick after returning from Dubai, another break funded by her company in Brentwood, Essex.

Mirmohammadi, pictured above, stole £184,675 by using a ­corporate credit card and raiding a business account.

She was caught after unexplained transactions across the globe were found during unrelated fraud checks.

Mirmohammadi, of Finchley, North London, was jailed for five years and ten months after being convicted of fraud at Basildon crown court.

Det Con Karen Venables said: “The sentence shows the severity of her offending.

"This was a calculated, ongoing fraud.

“She would have continued had she not been caught and it’s clear from the deception we found that she was trying to cover her tracks.”

A Proceeds of Crime Act hearing to confiscate any criminal gains is scheduled for November.
