18 September 2009

Teenager Nicola Gordon cleaned £1,200 out of the resident's account in the space of four weeks using the cards which had been stored in a safe.

On several occasions Gordon treated her friends to takeaway curry meals and she also used the cards to buy clothes on the internet, as well as mobile phone top-ups.

The victim, who has not been named, was described as a frail and vulnerable 92-year-old who would not have been capable of giving evidence in court.

A spokesman for Dalnagar Nursing Home confirmed that Gordon, who had worked for a short time as a part-time care assistant, had been sacked from her job.
