Pensioner turned cat burglar to raid the home of a 101-year-old neighbour.
THESE are the extraordinary moments when a pensioner turned cat burglar to raid the home of a 101-year-old neighbour.
A secret security camera, fitted when money started disappearing from Mabel Evans’ home, captured 78-year-old Daniel Gladstone climbing through a window and rummaging through her possessions.
Within a week, he had been filmed twice more slipping into her flat through the front door.
Southampton Crown Court heard that on the first occasion Ms Evans, who is hard of hearing and suffers from poor eyesight, was sitting close to her TV with headphones on and was oblivious to his presence. He left with her purse.
