A carer caught stealing money from a frail pensioner
  • 5 years ago
This is the moment a carer stealing money from a frail pensioner was caught on camera - after the victim's worried family installed CCTV to catch her. Sneaky Claire O'Hara, 37, was filmed rummaging through the possessions of great-granddad Patrick Murray, 79 - who she was supposed to be looking after.

His family who suspected that money was going missing at his care home in Middlesbrough had installed a camera.

In the footage, O'Hara can be seen entering Mr Murray's empty room and looking for the key to his safe, opening it and removing an item believed to be a wallet. Pat died three months after the crime but he lived long enough to give evidence to help convict her of theft.
