A New Jersey couple have confessed to stealing more than $1.4million from Hurricane Sandy victims and gambling their cash away at Atlantic City casinos.

Jeffrey Colmyer, 42, and Tiffany Cimino, 34, both pleaded guilty to theft charges on Tuesday.

Colmyer has also pleaded guilty to money laundering and is expected to be sentenced to seven years in state prison.

The couple bought a $17,000 diamond ring with the money they took from victims in the fraud scheme, police revealed

Cimino will receive probation, as per her plea deal, according to NJ.com.

The couple used their home improvement companies, Rayne Construction Management Services and Colmyer & Sons, to steal from more than 20 victims.

Victims had paid the companies for reconstruction, home elevations, or repairs, often using funds that came from government relief programs.

None of the services were ever completed and some had never even been started.

Colmyer gambled more than $700,000 in stolen funds at seven Atlantic City casinos, police said.

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal said he wanted to send a 'strong' message with Colmyer's sentencing.

'Colmyer and Cimino heartlessly preyed on Sandy victims whose homes had been destroyed, stealing the relief funds that were the lifeline these victims needed to rebuild in aftermath of the historic storm,' he said in a statement.

'By sending Colmyer to prison, we deliver a strong deterrent message that anyone willing to sink so low as to steal disaster relief money from victims will face a stern reckoning.'

The victims have since been given $776,000 in additional federal relief funds by the state Division of Community Affairs to hire new contractors.

Colmyer and Cimino must pay $1.45million in restitution as part of their plea deal. Colmyer also owes $56,472 in back taxes.

Superstorm Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane in 2012, causing nearly $70billion in damage.

It was the second-costliest record in the history of the US until 2017, affecting 24 states.

At least 233 people were killed in eight different countries in the storm, including 71 people in the US.
