Sentencing date set for conwoman carer who stole £10k from vulnerable victims
The case of a carer who stole £10,000 from two vulnerable people at a Wolverhampton residential home has been adjourned for sentencing.
Between July 2012 and March this year, 37-year-old Surose Hill, from Brooklands Parade, Wolverhampton, had been pocketing money from bank accounts she had been entrusted to handle.
This was because the two victims, residents at the home where she worked, were incapable of managing their own finances.
Hill had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud by abuse of position, but appeared before Wolverhampton Crown Court again where Judge Marcus Tregilgas-Davey concluded a pre-sentence report was required.
From one of the victim's accounts, a female resident, Hill made 61 unauthorised withdrawals totalling £8,280.
She also made another 20 withdrawals from a man under her care, earning herself a further £1,610.
When she appeared before Walsall Magistrates' Court, it was said that she had taken the money after getting herself into around £15,000 worth of debt, unknown to her family.
Hill will now be sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court on November 28.
