Finance manager Lisa Burrows, from Titford Road, Oldbury and admin officer Tahir Mahmood from Eastbourne Avenue, Birmingham, were each sentenced to six years in prison at Birmingham Crown Court after pleading guilty to fraud by abuse of position at an earlier hearing in March.
The taxi company - B&M Taxi Services - never existed and accounts linked to the firm in fact belonged to Mahmood. The duo used the money to fund lavish holidays and buy designer clothes. DC Mark Calvert led the inquiry. He said: “What we uncovered was a prolonged and systematic fraud by two people who ironically were employed by an organisation which prosecutes those who break the law."
