A cruel son stole his mum's hard-earned savings, which she had intended to give to her young grandchildren.
Career crook Adam Mosettig had only just been released from prison and was living with his mother when he helped himself to the money box in her bedroom while she was at work. A court heard that the victim, who had "little spare cash", had spent years collecting £2 coins to give her grandchildren, which Mosettig knew.
However, the shameless 27-year-old stole all £350 of it and made off. The victim rang the police and Mosettig, of Clarence House, in Shieldfield, Newcastle, was arrested but initially pleaded not guilty to one count of theft. The case was listed for trial but the thief, who has 155 offences on his appalling record, appeared via video link from prison at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court this week to change his plea.
