Ana Duarte.
A “despicable” north-east carer who stole from vulnerable pensioners, including a 90-year-old woman, has been jailed.
Ana Duarte, who was employed by Allied Healthcare at the time, took advantage of her position to steal money, cash tins, wallets, purses, and keys from vulnerable people who required homecare.
The 45-year-old targeted people who she was supposed to be caring for, as well as those she had previously been a carer to, across Fraserburgh, Strichen and New Pitsligo.
Duarte even stole a purse and £120 from a 90-year-old in a sheltered housing complex while posing as a carer to con her way inside.
