Care worker conned people she was supposed to be looking after out of £1,000,000
She was supposed to be looking after vulnerable adults but instead this woman was fleecing her clients to buy houses, holidays and high-performance cars.
For 10 years Diana Turner, 53, selfishly and shamelessly conned people in her care out of nearly £1million.Turner provided daily care to residents with various vulnerabilities at a complex in Sheffield and became more involved in the running of the business in 2006 when the owner was ill.
Turner used the money to buy a static caravan worth almost £60,000, two properties in Dubai, three properties in England, numerous holidays to the Middle East and high-value cars.She was sacked and the police alerted after the business owner returned to work in 2016 and discovered that some residents’ bank accounts had been linked to Turner’s.
Turner, of Ecclesfield Court, Sheffield, was charged with two counts of fraud and was found guilty by a jury on Monday after a trial. Detective Constable James Hughes, from South Yorkshire Police, said: ‘Over 10 years, Turner selfishly and shamelessly took advantage of the vulnerable residents, taking possession and control of their bank cards, making regular – and often daily – bank withdrawals to fund the lavish lifestyle she was leading.
