A serial thief with over 70 convictions stalked a blind man in a wheelchair home from the pub and robbed him of £6 inside his own property
A serial thief with over 70 convictions stalked a blind man in a wheelchair home from the pub and robbed him of £6 inside his own property. Angela Burns, 53, was sentenced to prison this week for the heartless attack on the 86-year-old OAP who she pushed to the floor as she forced entry in his home.
Burns then stole £160 in cash from the OAP's wallet and was later jailed for three years and eight months after she admitted to her crime. The mum-of-two was released from her sentence in 2018 but was subsequently recalled to serve the entire term. She also fraudulently posed as a care worker at Foxleigh Grange in Birkenhead to steal money from elderly victims and after being caught in that incident, the notorious thief said she wanted to make a change in her life for the sake of her grandkids. However, in June 2014 she was back in prison for eight months for theft after she targeted a vulnerable 70-year-old man with extreme learning difficulties.
The site's duty manager Patricia Johnson saw the man leaving his home "looking very distressed" and screaming "she has taken my money". Ms Johnson advised Burns, of Connaught Way, to vacate his home and later helped him pick her out in an identity parade. He was then admitted to hospital again after his wife was sectioned and is currently still there. The statement added: "I believe he was traumatised by the offence.
"This offence had far reaching consequences. The value of money stolen was small, but the impact of the offence has been far greater.
