Sacked care worker smashed elderly couple's door to rob them in terrifying crime spree

A former care worker named Ediongseyene Essien was sentenced to prison for robbing several elderly and disabled individuals in Liverpool after being fired from his job. The crimes occurred shortly after his suspension, including breaking into the home of an 88-year-old woman and her 85-year-old husband, where he smashed a door to steal £200. Essien also targeted other vulnerable residents, pretending to be a carer to gain access and stealing personal items. Victims reported feeling traumatized and less willing to engage with their communities. Essien used a key stored outside one home to enter and stole a bank card, which he later used for purchases. The case was presented at Liverpool Crown Court.
