Nan followed blind wheelchair user home from pub and robbed him for JUST £6

A serial thief who robbed a blind wheelchair user on their way home from the pub has been jailed.

Angela Burns, 53, forced her way into sheltered accommodation after folllowing the 86-year old man home, and stole a measly £6 in an attack that left her victim 'a shell of himself'.

A court heard how Burns had committed a series of similar offences, preying on the 'elderly' and 'vulnerable' in their own homes. She has already spent 15 years in and out of prison for targeting pensioners in cowardly attacks, amassing a total of 70 convictions for 100 offences, reports the Liverpool Echo.
