Silver stealers plead guilty

We often hear of robberies on the news, they are an unfortunate occurrence of day-to-day life. Mostly however we associate them with the younger generations. Not so it seems in Scotland. Two pensioners have just been charged with steeling £2,000 in cash and other items from a shop in Glasgow.

Before the jokes start, they did not did not steal slippers from M&S or pretend their walking sticks were guns. They actually committed the crime knowingly and willingly. One man distracted staff while the other stole the goods. Police later recovered cash and goods from the man’s house.

Sentencing has been deferred and the men have now been released on bail.
