Second Woman Snared in Shocking Fake Carer Scam in Maidstone
The Deceitful Heist Uncovered
A 91-year-old dementia patient in Maidstone became the latest victim of a heartless con when a fake carer swiped her bank card. On Saturday 15 November 2025, just after 11am, a stranger knocked on a home near Week Street. Posing as a legitimate care worker, she charmed a relative and walked off with the pensioner’s bank card.
The fraudster went on a spending spree, racking up over £2,000 in unauthorised cash withdrawals and purchases.
Mum and Daughter Duo Nabbed
- Kathleen Perry, 60, from Acorn Place, Maidstone, was arrested on the very day of the crime. She faces a string of charges including burglary, fraud by false representation, and breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order. On 17 November, she was locked up on remand.
- Her daughter, Siobhan Perry, 43, of Station Road, Maidstone, was later arrested and charged with six counts of fraud by false representation. She appeared at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court on 26 November and was also remanded in custody.
Court Date Set – Justice Awaited
Both women are due to appear at Maidstone Crown Court on 15 December to face their charges. Police have issued a stark warning for the public to stay alert for fake carers targeting vulnerable people.
