Alleged fraudster arrested amid lavish lifestyle

A former St George employee has been charged over allegedly taking at least $590,000 from customers.

Sarah Daizli, 29, was arrested at the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang cocktail bar on Pitt Street in Sydney on Thursday.

The woman has been accused of creating fake accounts, transactions and other fraudulent documents and transferring customers' super into these accounts.

Ms Daizil allegedly spent the money on a number of things including personal and body enhancements and was getting hair extensions put in when police arrested her.

"We will be alleging that she led a very luxurious lifestyle in regard to the funds she obtained," Detective Superintendent Linda Howlett, State Crime Command Financial Crimes Squad said on Thursday.

Police believe there were a number of victims and that more people may still come forward.

"This was an employee working for a banking institution that had the trust of her employer and her employees as well and she used that position within the bank to rob innocent victims of their funds."

Detectives launched the investigation in May and two people have been arrested in relation to the allegations so far.
