A woman in the U.K. has been sentenced to 28 months in prison for stealing hundreds of expensive accessories from a jewelry store that she previously managed.

Lucy Roberts managed a jewelry store for a year and would bring jewelry home with her, falsifying inventory records. She left the job and later went on a cruise, sending selfies to her former coworkers and telling them how much fun she was having. Police arrested her at the airport when she returned to the UK.
