A con woman has been jailed aTher tricking an Oban cashier to hand over £160.
Alina Rostas of 86 Warren Drive, South Surbiton, London, pleaded guilty to theft when she appeared at Oban Sheriff Court on Tuesday June 20.
Procurator fiscal Eoin McGinty said: ‘A shopkeeper was working and there was a sign in front of him saying new cashier, please be patient. ‘[Rostas] approached him, taking a bundle of £10 notes from her purse and asked the person to change them into £20 notes. He picked up enough £20 notes, and at that point Rostas changed her mind and asked for £50 notes instead
