Couple's 'lavish lifestyle' funded by brazen Bunnings scam - Sunshine Coast Daily

Andrew Alasdair Ryan, 47, and his now ex-wife Tania Leonard, 41, used proceeds from a Bunnings scam to fund their lifestyles.

The court heard Ryan was the mastermind behind the "sophisticated" fraudulent activity against Bunnings between January 2016 and December 2018.

Crown prosecutor Shauna Farrelly said Ryan's modus operandi was purchasing goods from Bunnings and using that receipt to steal identical items from dozens of stores.

Leonard was given a suspended sentenced to two years' jail and ordered to perform 150 hours of unpaid community service.
