Paramedic filmed stealing £60 from woman, 94, moments after she DIED

Shameless paramedic filmed stealing £60 from woman, 94, moments after she collapsed and DIED is spared jail for crime that left pensioner’s son ‘sick to the stomach’

  • Mark Titley, 58, was one of the medics attending to the woman in Shrewsbury
  • The paramedic admitted the theft and was given a suspended prison sentence

This is the moment a shameless paramedic was caught stealing £60 from a 94-year-old’s home – moments after she collapsed and died. 

The paramedic was caught on camera rifling through the recently deceased elderly woman’s belongings and pocketing £60 from her home.

The 58-year-old paramedic can be seen casually strolling up towards a side table where the cash was placed, before rummaging through her things and pocketing the money. 

When he realised he’d been filmed, Mark Titley quickly put the cash back – but the victim’s son saw what he had done and said it made him ‘sick to his stomach’.

The 58-year-old was one of four medics called to the woman’s home in Shrewsbury on June 29 last year, following reports she had collapsed in the garden. 

They worked on her for about 20 minutes before she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Shrewsbury Crown Court was told Titley then entered the property in search of a ‘do not resuscitate’ form. 

But he was filmed going through a plastic box full of cash and lifting up the notes to count through them before placing around £60 in his trouser pocket.

The court was told Titley then looked around and spotted the camera before immediately putting it back in the box. 

But the woman’s son saw the footage and reported it to West Mercia Police. The court heard he felt ‘disgusted and sick to my stomach’ on reviewing it.

Titley initially denied the allegation, telling police he intended to ‘secure’ the cash and take it out to family members. 

However, he later admitted theft and was given an 18-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. He was also ordered to carry out 120 hours unpaid work and pay £530 costs and a £187 victim surcharge.

The court heard Titley, of Linley Avenue, Pontesbury, was no longer a serving paramedic, having retired from West Midlands Ambulance Service days after the incident.

Assistant chief ambulance officer, Nathan Hudson, said: “Our staff will be horrified one of their former colleagues would do something like this.

“We hold a position of trust when we enter someone’s home and these sorts of actions rightly put a stain on all of our reputations which is deeply regrettable and makes it much harder for staff who are still working.

“We are pleased that this was taken to court and dealt with by the criminal justice system.”
