A woman has been charged with stealing money from a bank where she worked.

Sara Drage, 23, of Seaside Road, Eastbourne, was taken into custody after she was arrested at Gatwick on Thursday night.

The cash allegedly went missing from a safe at the Halifax branch in Albert Parade, Eastbourne, on Monday.

Ms Drage, a cashier for the financial services company Steel and Co, which manages the branch, appeared before Eastbourne magistrates on Saturday.

She was remanded in custody and will return to court on Friday.
