A Lanarkshire carer stole an elderly woman's bank card and swiped £11,800.
Margaret McPhail took the 87-year-old's bank card from her home in Cambuslang.
The 62-year-old committed the crime between March 5, 2019 and January 21, 2020.
McPhail used the card at a Morrisons, also in Cambuslang.
She pled guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a single charge of theft.
Sheriff Michael Hanlon asked McPhail's lawyer: "Was she known and was she someone in a position of trust?"
Chris Devine, defending, replied: "Yes."
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until next month where more information regarding the circumstances will be heard.
The sheriff told McPhail: "This is obviously a very serious matter."
McPhail, also of Cambuslang, had her bail continued meantime.
