Grandson went to buy food for his nan - then drained her savings to help pay off a £2,000 cocaine debt

A grandson used his nan's bank card to drain £3,000 of her savings while he was out doing the shopping for her.

Andrew McCoosh made withdrawals from his nan's bank account as he was 'under pressure' to pay off a £2,000 cocaine debt. The 24-year-old was caught out after his nan noticed that money was gone from her Barclays account which she had not withdrawn herself.

Liverpool Crown Court heard how McCoosh tapped into her savings by using the card and pin number which she willingly gave him thinking he was doing her a favour. After his nan noticed the transactions, she investigated further and found another eight which she had not made so notified Barclays of the suspicious activity, reports the Liverpool Echo.
