A 'cowardly' crook has been jailed for four years after stealing £1,100 from a disabled pensioner on his mobility scooter in broad daylight. Thief Andrew Merritt asked an 88-year-old man if he had any change, who took out his wallet and gave him £3.10. Merritt gave the elderly man a hug afterwards, before swiping his wallet and walking away. The pensioner pleaded with Merritt to return his wallet, who laughed as he walked away with more than £1,000 of the man's money.
Cops weren't convinced and charged him with robbery, to which Merritt pleaded not guilty. He was sentenced to four years in prison on Wednesday at Nottingham Crown Court. Meritt was also given a criminal behaviour order banning him from Worksop town centre for four years and ordered to pay a £228 victim surcharge.The court heard how he has previous convictions relating to 118 offences, which include theft, shoplifting, assault, breaching court orders and burglaries.
