Sally Burborough fraudulently transferred more than £185,000 into her personal and business accounts over a seven-year period.
Sally Burborough, 58, of Bicester Road in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, worked at a farm near Great Haseley, Oxfordshire, between June 2016 and January 2023, and made the transfers after the death of the owner.
Burborough was found guilty at Oxford Magistrates' Court of one count of fraud by abuse of position on 4 June 2024. At her sentencing hearing held in May 2025 she was sentenced to two years and seven months in prison.
During the investigation, Thames Valley Police obtained a pre-charge restraint against Burborough over the proceeds from a house sale that had been undertaken at the time of her arrest. During the sentencing hearing, the judge concluded that a full proceeds of crimes hearing (POCA) would take place.
Investigating officer DC Ross Fleming said the force was "keeping an open mind about the potential for other victims". He appealed to anyone who felt they might be a victim to get in touch.
Burborough was a member of IAgSA and was supervised under the Money Laundering Regulations by ICB. Both bodies excluded her from membership.
