A man has been jailed for the 'callous' mugging of two women, including a pensioner.
Iulian Doroftei, 42, from Ellesmere Port, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Monday, June 6 and was sentenced to four years and six months in prison after pleading guilty to the robbery of two women. Doroftei left a 77-year-old woman from Neston with bruising to her arm after he targeted her from behind whilst she was walking to her car on Heathfield Road in Ellesmere Port at around 12:30pm on Saturday December 11, 2021.
He forcefully removed the victim’s handbag before fleeing the scene. It is reported that several items were stolen along with the handbag, including her mobile phone, a credit card, a diary and a hearing aid.
