A woman who was supposed to care for her dementia-suffering grandad stole £34,000 from him to fund an 'almighty bender'. Nicole Taylor dwindled Norman Glover's savings to fund a cocaine habit and to pay for tattoos, takeaways, holidays and a car, LancsLive reports.

The 25-year-old, from Chorley, been given permission to access his bank account following his dementia diagnosis, but only for the purpose of paying for maintenance for his house.
