A WOMAN was handed a suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of fraud.
Claire Blackwood, 44, of Orchard Plaza, High Street, Poole denied committing the offence between February 3 and 4 last year when she appeared at Poole magistrates' court.
The court heard she transferred £900 from a person's bank account without consent and for her own use.
She received a 10-week suspended sentence and was ordered to pay £900 compensation.
She admitted to failing to surrender to custody in Poole on June 22 but received no separate penalty.
