ON-THE-BALL staff helped to catch a thief red-handed after vulnerable pensioners had their belongings stolen by a nurse at a €40,000-a-year South Dublin nursing home.

Ouffy Magat swiped a total of €660 from 10 residents in March and April at Our Lady's Manor Nursing Home, Dalkey. But staff caught the 26-year-old Filipino red-handed after their suspicions prompted them to secretly fit CCTV cameras in the building. Once enough evidence had been gathered, management alerted gardai. Magat appeared before Dun Laoghaire District Court and pleaded guilty to the larceny. He was remanded on bail to appear before the court again for sentencing. He is expected to co-operate fully with the probe in a desperate bid to save his work rights in Ireland.

The families of those who fell victim to the rogue nurse's actions are also understood to be satisfied with the clever way the matter was handled by the staff members.

It is understood that nursing home workers assisted Magat in securing a work permit before he came to Ireland.
