Shameless carer caught stealing from OAP’s handbag more than SIXTY times after family set up spy camera is jailed for ten months
Donna White was filmed stealing £3,600 from frail 84-year-old's handbag and family fear mum will 'never trust again'
A FRAIL OAP’s thieving carer rifles the 84-year-old’s handbag — then coolly counts the cash.
Donna White, 48, was filmed doing the same 64 times after the great gran’s suspicious family put a spy camera in the kitchen.
The mum of two systematically robbed Diana Brammall despite the grateful OAP having paid for her to go on cruise holidays, a judge heard.
Her shocked victim said: “She even stole from me on Christmas Day.”
White, of Thurgoland, South Yorks, was sacked by Barnsley council.
She admitted thefts estimated to total at least £3,600 and sobbed as she was jailed for ten months at Sheffield crown court.
Diana, whose husband of 62 years is a retired butcher, said: “It made me feel ill.
“We had been so generous with her, which is why it hurt.
“I feel as though I have got a good hiding.”
Mrs Brammall’s son cashed a £400 cheque each week to pay for his mum’s care.
The family felt “sick” as they watched “brazen” White steal from their mum.
Her son Stephen said: “The full extent of her actions will never be known.
“I think it will be very difficult for mum to trust anyone again.”
Shamed White’s thefts began after a shop she ran with her ex-partner failed.
Judge Recorder Anthony Kelbrick told her: “People who prey on elderly and vulnerable victims such as you did will go to prison.”
