Gambling addict stole over £14,000 from elderly person to fund gambling addiction

A court heard testimony about a man who embezzled over £14,800 from his own step-granddad to feed his gambling habit. After entering a guilty plea to a single fraud charge, the suspect appeared before Truro Crown Court today to receive a sentence.

The court was informed that he discovered his step-grandfather's bank account information on a piece of paper in his home, and between May 22 and June 7, 2023, he made 168 separate transfers totaling £14,870 from the elder's bank account into his own.
 
A gambler that go to casino to gamble without his money is a really criminal and must be punished accordingly. To steal from elderly just to feed his addiction is a terrible addiction. £14,000 is a very huge amount of money! He deserve to go to prison and unfortunately he did not win anything tangible! It is terrifying embezzlement of funds.
