HERE S this week s round-up of who has been jailed this week: -
A MEMBER of a gang that attacked a G4S security guard in a broad daylight during a cash-in-transit robbery outside a Bradford supermarket was jailed for three years and four months. Qasib Hussain, 23, of Idle Road, Five Lane Ends, Bradford, was one of three men who took part in the £12,000 raid outside Tesco Express on Bolton Road just after 1pm on July 27 last year. In November, Mohammed Farid, also 23, of Newport Place, Manningham, Bradford, admitted his involvement in the robbery and was also jailed for 40 months. A third unidentified man was part of the gang but still at large, Bradford Crown Court heard. Video footage of the robbery showed him bringing a hammer down either onto the security guard himself or his van.
BURGLARS took a dying woman’s phone and purse after the 84-year-old’s frantic husband had asked them for help. Kelly Cassidy and Steven Morris walked into partially-sighted Ronald Crowther’s home as he was upstairs caring for his dying wife Dorothy, who had fallen ill in the night on October 15. The heroin addicts seized the opportunity to strike after seeing a distressed Mr Crowther looking for help in the street at around 3am – even offering to call an ambulance when he told them his wife was ill. But the pair never called an ambulance. Instead they waited until the coast was clear to enter Mr Crowther’s Brierfield home.
