A pensioner was mugged by heartless thugs in McDonald's who thought he was 'easy prey' after buying one of them a cup of tea. The 77-year-old entered the fast food chain at 7am on May 9 to buy his breakfast and was quickly joined at his table by the culprits.
Wayne Mason, 37, sat down at the table with the pensioner first. Moments later he was joined by Michael Batley, 44, who has 350 previous offences, Hull Crown Court heard.
The pensioner then placed his order and took his wallet out to pay, while the duo hung around the counter. Mason then asked the pensioner to buy him a cup of tea.
