Carer Bought Clothes With Vulnerable Clients' Money

Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court
A teenage carer treated herself to clothes and other treats at the expense of the elderly women she was supposedly looking after.

Halima Mayoo Mohammed, 19, of Sherfield Gardens, Roehampton received a suspended sentence at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court.

She will also have to repay £470 within twelve months to the banks of the victims.

When she originally appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates Court Mohammed was already banned from working with vulnerable adults as a condition of bail.

After pleading guilty to offences involving three different victims she was sentenced to eight months custody, suspended for two years.

Mohammed will also be under the supervision of the Probation Service for two years and must compete fifteen sessions of a prescribed activity requirement.

She was charged with three counts of fraud by false representation in that on February 9 and February 10 she dishonestly made online purchases using her clients' bank details.

She was also charged with three counts of fraud by abuse of position on the same dates, namely abusing her position to make a gain.
