A former care worker from Keynsham has been jailed for four years and four months after preying on elderly women with severe dementia. Amy Bassett, 33, took a Bath care home resident's wedding and engagement rings without consent and pawned them to pay for Christmas presents. She also opened a credit card in a 100-year-old woman's name and tried to bank a fake cheque.
