A 42-year-old woman has been charged with fraud in connection with incidents where bank cards of elderly residents at a care home were used fraudulently to buy clothes and food online.

Michelle Brandish, of Beeching Way, Wallingford, was charged on Monday with one count of fraud by abuse of position.

The charge is related to offences against four victims in Oxfordshire, between March 1 and October 2 last year, when money was withdrawn from the bank accounts of elderly people to pay for online clothing and food orders.

Michelle Brandish was arrested on October 2 last year and has been bailed to appear at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on March 8.
