Serial Thief Back Behind Bars | Manchester News

A woman known for her pattern of theft is back behind bars—this time sentenced to two years and eight months after stealing over $22,000 from two businesses. Deborah Swift, 54, allegedly embezzled cash from a golf club while claiming it was at home, then texted friends asking to borrow money as if covering up her spending. She also stole financial records when leaving. Just months later, while on bail, she took a job at an equestrian center, where she secretly paid herself extra, skipped pension payments, and ignored court-ordered obligations—leaving the owner devastated and forced to spend months cleaning up her mess. Despite claims of childhood trauma and a “compulsion” to steal, the judge called her a “serial fraudster,” saying there’s no hope she’ll change.
