An elderly former mayor was followed from a bank to his home by a robber, who then forced his way inside the house to attack the 82-year-old victim and steal his wallet. Noel Spencer, who used to be the ceremonial mayor of Bolton, first spotted Muhammed Tehseen while he was depositing a cheque at the Bolton town centre branch of Royal Bank of Scotland on the morning of February 7.
He noticed Tehseen was following him and tried to shake off the 31-year-old by going into Poundland and Morrisons. However Tehseen kept stalking his victim and even sat behind him on a bus back to his Farnworth home.
When Mr Spencer opened his front door, vile Tehseen pushed him inside, through the living room and then onto the bed where he punched him several times, kicked him to the floor and stole his wallet.
