A carer who stole from elderly widow's bank account on the day of her husband's funeral has avoided a prison sentence. Margaret McPhail, 62, carried out £11,800 worth of cash withdrawals on 87-year-old Agnes Fowler's account from her home in Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire.
McPhail - who cared for her neighbours - withdrew the cash between March 5, 2019 and January 21, 2020. She was snared after family members went through bank statements after Mrs Fowler's husband's death.
A transaction found to have taken place on the day of the funeral led to them uncovering further unsanctioned uses of the bank account.
McPhail pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to the single charge of theft. Sheriff Mark McGuire ordered McPhail, of Cambuslang, to pay her victim £2,500 in compensation.
