A PEST control company fell victim to a $122,000 fraud committed by a trusted employee who stole its termite and insecticide chemicals then sold them online.
In the Crown prosecution case, Rameces Manguerra was employed at Termx Replenishment Systems in Acacia Ridge in charge of stock control when he began stealing.
His crime only discovered when the company was sold by owner Colin Davies, who an Ipswich court heard was left feeling ‘betrayed’.
Manguerra, 42, from Springfield Lakes, is now behind bars after being sentenced in Ipswich District Court on Thursday to a four-year jail penalty.
He has previously repaid the company $130,000.
