12 years' jail for bank manager
A 23-YEAR-OLD fast-tracked bank manager who gave her boyfriend the vital inside information he needed to rob a branch of more than £370,000 has been jailed for 12 years.
Members of Rachael Shariar-Namini's family looked stunned and hugged each other in shock after a judge at Leeds Crown Court handed down the lengthy sentence after saying she was "astonished" the young bank worker had thrown away such a promising career.
Judge Sally Cahill heard how the boyfriend, William Wormald, and his accomplice, Darren Ashcroft, cut their way through the roof of the NatWest branch in Hunslet, West Yorkshire.
