KITCHENER — A depressed Bank of Montreal branch manager in Kitchener used accounts in her dead mother's name and others in her two sisters' names to defraud the bank for $277,000, court heard on Tuesday. Catherine Roberts, 58, of Cambridge, spent the cash on gambling and shopping. She pleaded guilty to fraud over $5,000 and was sentenced to two years in prison and ordered to make full restitution. After her mother died, Roberts was depressed and in a "downward spiral," Justice David Broad said in a summary of the case. "She acknowledged that she spent the money that she took from her employer on shopping and gambling and did so in order to make herself feel better." Roberts launched the fraud in January 2004, the month her mother died, while managing the Highland Hills branch on Highland Road West in Kitchener. The fraud continued when she was transferred to the Laurentian Hills branch on Ottawa Street South in Kitchener in 2008. She was fired when her crimes came to light in July 2011. ... http://www.therecord.com/news-story/7151966-former-kitchener-bank-manager-jailed-for-fraud/
