A struggling single mother caught her best friend stealing cash from her in her own home after she set up a secret camera in her kitchen.

Samantha Wood, 27, of Hedon, Hull, said she was brought to tears as she watched Melissa Collier, 28, rifle through her purse as she made a cup of tea.

Footage from the device hidden behind her toaster showed the moment Collier, her friend of 14 years, nabbed the money in her handbag and stuffed it in her bra.

Ms Wood said she set up the camera after she noticed money from her savings jar and from her nine-year-old son's piggy bank had gone missing.
