A carer who was caught on camera stealing money from a vulnerable pensioner's purse has been jailed. 

Sheryvone Brooks, 20, was filmed taking £30 from 85-year-old Evelyn Nicholson after her suspicious employers installed a recording device in the elderly woman's home in Stourbridge, West Midlands. 

A camera - hidden between an ornamental teapot and a box of water filters after the pensioner's money started going missing in December last year - captured crystal-clear footage of Brooks removing the purse from a kitchen drawer before taking out and pocketing the cash.
