Cassie Sainsbury Drug Mule: Stealing money from Tennis Club during stint as secretary?

ACCUSED Cassie Sainsbury is at the centre of a fresh scandal involving the brazen theft of more than $3000 from a tiny tennis club on the Yorke Peninsula — where she worked briefly as club treasurer in 2015.

The affidavit shows that Sainsbury was secretly using the tennis club as her own private ATM.

She allegedly withdrew $3167 via direct transfers to her own personal bank account, but attempted to repay some of the money, returning $1160 before she finally skipped town leaving the club $2007 short.

The affidavit documents 19 transactions, all of which are believed to be fraudulent, with withdrawals of $55, $150, $200, $502, $300, some of them on the same day.

She would often then have a pang of guilt and repay some money, but would subsequently withdraw more money again.

The theft happened around the same time Sainsbury was living in Yorketown, where she ran a failed gymnasium business.

The story was revealed on Radio 5AA on Tuesday morning where club spokesman, named only as Mark, said the money taken direct from the pockets of club members, many of them juniors.

“It might not sound like a lot but for a small club like ours it represented 60 per cent of our entire revenue,”Mark said.

Sainsbury become involved with the Coobowie Tennis Club in 2015 and was appointed treasurer in September of that year.
