A carer who swindled £20,000 from a vulnerable elderly patient was jailed today for 14 months. Linda Dobbie, 50, stole the cash from Anne Beck at various locations in Glasgow between July 2017 and December 2018.
Dobbie took her bank card without permission to withdraw money from ATMs on a weekly basis. Dobbie - who was employed by firm Carr Gomm - told police she used the money to pay back her son's drug debt.
The first offender pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to embezzling £20,000 from Miss Beck. The court heard Miss Beck - who was aged between 71 and 73 - suffers from reduced mobility and severe mental health issues.
