An investigation found that fees for his care had not been paid for months
Reith, of Maryfield Avenue, was interviewed by police in September last year and confessed to taking the cash. A total of £15,740 was withdrawn from the man’s account, but it was agreed that Reith had spent around £10,000 on herself. She admitted an offence of theft by employee.
Mitigating, Michael Walsh said like many cases, she had taken the money with an intention to pay it back but the situation had “snowballed”. He said that she had debts amounting to £28,000 and it had been “heart-breaking” for Reith having to tell her family of her crime, although he conceded she was the “author of he own misfortune”.
He said: “It does not provide an excuse, but that the time she was in the throws of using Class A drugs. There’s no suggestion she was dependent but nevertheless, there was a perceived need for money.”
