A healthcare worker in the United Kingdom has admitted to using a patient’s debit card to buy snacks from a vending machine at the hospital where she works.
According to The New York Post, Ayesha, 23, used the card of an 83 year old patient just 17 minutes after the patient died on Jan. 24. The purchases were made at Heartlands Hospital in Birmingham.
Reports say she made six purchases that day and one more later. Four days after that, she tried to use the card again, but it had already been canceled.
The outlet reports that when police arrested Ayesha, she still had the card. She reportedly first told officers she found it on the ground and believed it was hers.
Ayesha admitted to charges including theft and fraud by false representation in a Birmingham court on Wednesday, according to the report.
