Aberdeen grandmother Coleen Muirhead jailed for embezzling £1.5m from Panda Rosa Metals

Coleen Muirhead, a grandmother from Aberdeen, has been sentenced to three years and four months in jail for embezzling £1.5million from a family scrap metal business. Muirhead used the stolen money to fund an extravagant lifestyle that included luxury family vacations, new cars, and high-value auction items.
The embezzlement was discovered during a review of the business's finances, where it was found that Muirhead had been paying invoices to a fictitious customer named G. Anderson and depositing the money into her personal bank account.
Muirhead's lavish spending included the purchase of two static caravans worth £78,000. The funds she embezzled from Panda Rosa Metals enabled her to live a life of luxury and indulgence at the expense of her family's business.
