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.

It then cuts to Brooks, who was 19 at the time, perched in the same chair and captures the moment she takes a look to see if he OAP is watching before quickly opening the drawer. She then calmly takes out a red purse and stands up before pinching cash and stuffing it in her tracksuit pocket. Brooks, of Sedgley, West Midlands, pleaded guilty to one count of theft at Dudley Magistrates Court on February 19. She wept in the dock as she was sentenced to 26 weeks in a Young Offenders' Institute at Wolverhampton Crown Court.
