Mikhail Sergeevich, 30, pocketed €100 from his 87-year-old client's wallet after reaching into the pensioner's trousers, which had been hanging on the back of a chair in Longford. An internal medicam device identified him taking the money. The carer was sacked from his original job after being caught red-handed on CCTV in the client's home.
