A despicable carer has been jailed for stealing money from an 80-year-old woman she was supposed to be looking after.
Ismhan Tabe committed the appalling breach of trust for the sake of £40, sneaking into the woman's bedroom while she was in the bathroom. The 67-year-old was snared because the victim's family had installed CCTV in her home to check on her welfare.
Newcastle Crown Court heard her son, who lives in Hampshire, stayed with her for four nights after she had spend time in hospital and arranged for a carer to attend to help his mum as he had to go home.
