Teddy camera catches carer thief


A forensic science graduate and her father caught his terminally ill mother's care assistant stealing by putting a camera in a teddy bear's eye.

Robert Sampson, 46, and Emma, 21, fixed the tiny camera in the Liverpool home of his mother Thelma Sampson, 75.

Last week, care assistant Yvonne Allen, 28, of Halewood, Liverpool, was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of theft.
