Bingo-mad housing chief 'bullied' tenants out of thousands » Housing » 24dash.com

A bingo-mad housing chief, who "bullied" vulnerable tenants out of more than £63,000 to fund her gambling addiction, was warned today jail was virtually inevitable.

For three years grandmother Jeanette Harris, 50, lied to both the "socially needy" and key workers such as firemen and nurses to pocket money.

The estate manager, who turned to crime just weeks after starting work for the Crown Estate Commissioners (CEC), first told her victims they needed to pay deposits to secure the scarce accommodation.

She then insisted they had to pay their rent in cash. Harris cooked the books to cover up her crimes.

One of those she targeted, who complained about her behaviour and took her bosses to a tribunal, found the CEC siding with their employee and winning.
