You go to the police first, to try to stop the crime from occurring again. You go to the lawyer second, to try to recover the lost money and press charges.

Have your granny pull her money outta the account and open a new one, change everything about it.

the definition of theft is (in UK) dishonest appropriation of property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it. you should make sure that you have, firstly evidence that money has been taken and secondly that you grandmother would not have approved of it. you would then have something that the police should look into

1. What evidence do you have that the money is being stolen from the account? 2. Check with Granny that she has not authorised it though it is possible, depending on how alert she is, that she may have unwittingly authorised it. When I studied law there is a thing called "non est factum" this is not my deed when someone signs a document under undue influence. 3. Talk to her bank. 4. Report it to the police.
