Norwich Crown Court
A former care home manger stole more than £24,000 from a resident over five years to help pay for his gambling, a court has heard.
Robert Harbord, 48, had worked as a manager at Heath Farm House care home in Little Plumstead when he took between £18,000 and £24,000 from a resident at the home who had no mental capacity whatsoever .
Norwich Crown Court heard the money had been taken by Harbord between November 2014 and November 2019 but was only discovered after Harbord was dismissed for gross misconduct in relation to another matter.
Duncan O Donnell, prosecuting, said following his departure a review was conducted by Swanton Care and Community Ltd, which ran the care home, during which the fraud was discovered.

An extra 1,700 households in Norfolk will be able to get their food waste collected from next month.
Food caddies will soon be delivered to homes in Thorpe St Andrew, Sprowston, Old Catton, Spixworth and Drayton, where people will start receiving food waste collections from April 26.
Broadland District Council, which was the first council in Norfolk to carry out separate food waste collections in 2008, is expanding its service.
What started as a six-month, government-funded trial serving about 6,000 homes is now offered to more than 30,000 homes - almost half of all households in the district.
