A 'mean' grandson stole from his elderly grandmother and swiped his cousin's bank card out of his wallet while they slept.
Banned driver Ryan Connell also took his cousin's wife's car without her consent and used it to travel to local shops in order to fraudulently use the card. A court heard that the 27-year-old spent a total of £110 during over three transactions until the victim realised it was missing and had been used.
When the thief later returned to his grandmother's Ashington home, he was confronted by her and immediately admitted what he'd done, prosecutors said. CCTV footage also showed Connell driving his cousin's wife's car and using the stolen bank card in stores in Ashington.
