Thief on Valium stole money from home of disabled Rosyth pensioner, 78
A DISABLED Rosyth pensioner agreed to help a complete stranger who turned up at his door asking for money.
While the Good Samaritan OAP went to get the cash, Philip Reid went looking for more money elsewhere in the house.
Philip Reid, 39, of Letham Avenue, Leven, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
He admitted that on October 7, 2019, at an address in Rosyth, he stole a quantity of money from a man, then aged 78.
Depute fiscal Jill Currie said Reid had gone to the home of a neighbour of the victim. Reid knew that person and had been hoping to sell him some items or borrow money.
