A blind woman's nephew is going to prison after abusing his caregiver position and stealing more than $1600 from her and spending some of it on online games for his Facebook account.
Kane Jason Gamble moved in with his legally-blind aunt in May to act as her caregiver, and she gave him her PIN number and online banking password so he could pay her bills.
Gamble took his aunt's debit card to an Ohakune ATM and made three withdrawals, totalling $1050.
He made a further 50 transactions to spend money on Facebook games, Whanganui District Court heard on Tuesday.
The extra money he used totalled $632.47.
