Sentencing of a former Girl Guide leader from Perthshire, who admitted stealing £8,000 from a 93-year-old, has been delayed because of a decline in her mental health.
Ann Taylor, 53, stole the cash from the pensioner over eight months between July 2013 and February 2014 at locations in Muthill, Crieff, Dunblane and Perth.
Taylor, of Lintibert Terrace, Muthill, also stole £163 from an 84-year-old man at his home in Crieff in October last year.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis was told that Taylor’s mental health had recently declined and that she hoped to be re-admitted to Murray Royal Hospital. Sentence was deferred for supplementary reports.
