A mum-of-two, who stole more than £45,000 from her dementia-suffering grandma, has avoided jail. Carrie Chadwick plundered Kathleen Lancaster's funds over a two-and-a-half year period and blew it on gambling websites, takeaways and shopping.

The 41-year-old's 'despicable' deceit was eventually uncovered when her elderly grandmother was kicked out of her Wigan care home, because her top-up fees had not been paid.

Chadwick was given 'unfettered' access to Mrs Lancaster's bank accounts, shortly after she was diagnosed with dementia in May 2016, prosecution barrister Philip Hall told Bolton Crown Court.

At that time, Mrs Lancaster lived in a council house and Chadwick was trusted by her family to pay bills and keep the kitchen stocked with food.
