AN insurance broker siphoned off more than $216,000 from his employer to his own bank accounts over a five-year period.
But police took another two years to interview Craig Anthony Marshall and arrest him after he confessed to his employers at Insurance House Pty Ltd.
The 49-year-old's scheme was discovered in August 2018 when he took just four days' leave.
It was revealed he had reduced 167 insurance policies for clients and had the refunds redirected to one of his 26 personal bank accounts between February 2013 and August 2018.
He took more than $216,000.
Due to Marshall's actions, Insurance House Pty Ltd had their business devalued by $60,000 when they were selling the company.
