The daughter of a millionaire lottery winning couple who stole over £22,000 from a children’s nursery has escaped jail - after the cash was paid back.
Samantha Crossland, 30, was pocketing parents’ fees being paid to the Child’s Play day nursery she worked at in a trusted position.
She had been told she faced a custodial sentence unless the money was paid back and Crossland - whose parents made over a million on the lotto - handed back the cash.
Nursery owner Lynda Quigley confirmed that the amount stolen - £22,642 - had been paid into her bank account from an “S. Crossland”.
It was not clear whether this was Samantha - or her mother Susan Crossland, who won nearly £1.3m on the National Lottery.
The family live in a luxury detached home in Mirfield.
