A callous carer stole two valuable ornaments from a dying pensioner and tried to sell them for £24,000 at auction.
Rebecca Morley, 39, helped herself to two rare 18th century figurines that were stood in a cabinet at the elderly man's house.
When he died, she waited six months before taking the objects to Bonhams Auctioneers and making up a story that they were family heirlooms given to her by a late grandmother, Devon Live writes.
