A 35 year-old woman has admitted stealing more than £64,000 from the residents of a care home.
Juanita Ferguson, of Lower Nassau Street, admitted six charges of theft at Meadowbank Care Home between May 12, 2005 and February 6, 2006.
A previous court hearing was told that in total the amount of cash stolen from the residents was 'in excess of £64,000'.
On Friday, Derry Crown Court Judge Desmond Marrinan told Ferguson the theft of cash from the residents of a care home was a very serious matter.
It was revealed that a confiscation order for the money has also been requested and a hearing will take place next month.
The judge adjourned sentencing until the same date and ordered the compilation of a probation pre-sentence report.
Ferguson was released on continuing bail to appear in court again on April 23.
