A granddaughter stole more than £2,000 from her grandmother who had been diagnosed with dementia and moved to a care homes She frittered the money away on clothing, household items, rent, and takeaways.
Gemma Jones, 31, of Bridgend, defrauded her grandmother Gwynfa Jones out of £2,746 over a year, cruelly and cynically taking advantage of her poor health. Mrs Jones moved into a care home in March 23, 2018, but within a matter of days her granddaughter began making transactions from her bank account.
A sentencing hearing at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court heard Jones had been involved her grandmother's care but on a number of occasions Mrs Jones had been found in a confused state having left her home in Ogmore Vale. The fraud came to light when the victim's son Ian Jones went to his mother's house to collect mail in October 2018.
