Alana Squire, of Brough St Giles, befriended her victim before draining his bank account, police say.
A care worker who stole more than £46,000 from a vulnerable client she befriended at work has been jailed for three years.
She first met the victim, a man in his 60s from the Richmondshire area of North Yorkshire, through the care company she worked for and then began visiting him when she was not at work. However, he became concerned about the amount of money being taken from his account and noticed it was not being repaid.But he feared if he stopped Squire from using his bank card, she would stop visiting him and leave him isolated, police said.
PC McVay, said: "This was a sickening abuse of trust in which Squire simply helped herself to very significant sums of money.
