A cocaine addict secretly stole almost £3,000 of his nan's savings while running shopping errands for her.
Andrew McCoosh, 24, made various withdrawals his nan's Barclay's bank account without her knowledge after she gave him her card and pin number so he could go on shopping errands for her. Liverpool Crown Court heard that on August 11 last year, she noticed money was gone from her account which she had not withdrawn.
She investigated and found a further eight transactions which she had not made and she notified the bank, said Holly Menary, prosecuting. Menary said: "She had given the defendant access to her card and pin so he could buy groceries and occasionally she would give him the odd £20. But her permission did not extend to withdrawing large amounts of money."
