Carer who stole 'staggering' £145,000 from woman in her 90s and had dementia-battling victim's will changed to inherit her house is spared jail
Daily MailA carer who stole a 'staggering' sum from a woman in her 90s and even had her victim's will changed to inherit her house has been spared jail. Jones, employed as Ms Williams' carer via an agency, began spending 'virtually all day' with her victim, rearranging hospital or dental appointments to times when only she could take her. Prosecutor Matthew Kerruish-Jones told the court Jones was assigned as Ms Williams' carer after she was diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2009 and later suffered a stroke. The suspicious banking activity was uncovered in November 2017 after Jones took a then wheelchair-bound Ms Williams to the Halifax bank in Rhyl, telling staff she was her carer. The bank consultant became suspicious, noticing that roughly £300 had been taken out of Ms Williams' account from cashpoints in Rhyl or Prestatyn every day since August 2017.
