Louise Creighton, 41, embezzled the cash from the company who provide eye care to vulnerable people. She was ordered to do 225 hours of unpaid work at today's sentencing.

A woman who stole more than £22,000 from a company who provide eye care to vulnerable people used some of the cash to fund her drug habit.

Creighton was snared after concerns by a care home were raised about the bank details provided which sparked an internal probe. The sheriff told her: "In all the circumstances I am persuaded that there is an alternative to custody but it is a direct alternative to custody and if there are any problems you come back to me and you probably will be going to jail."

In October 2017, a witness from a care home in Dorset reported "concerns" to Visioncall regarding the bank account details listed on an invoice.
