A mum pretended that her waters had broken to trick a pensioner into letting her in her home, before holding her at knife point and stealing a bank card.
Vicky Burey, aged 41, knocked on the window of the victim's, 73, house at approximately 11.30pm on July 10, 2021.
Prosecution barrister Michelle Brown told Bolton Crown Court that the homeowner took pity on Burey, who was crouched on the ground outside the property and appeared to be "highly emotional".
Manchester Evening News reports that the woman rang an ambulance and eventually let Burey in to wait in her home.
As soon as she was inside the house, the woman said that Burey's “demeanour changed” and she suddenly appeared “highly agitated and way out of it”.
Burey, of Alder Street, Great Lever, Bolton, snatched the woman’s phone out of her hands and held it behind her back.
The victim eventually got it back and told Burey that she was going to call the police.
At this point, Burey found a kitchen knife and pointed it at the woman.
Ms Brown told the court that the woman had felt the tip of the knife “poking into the side of her clothing” and she feared she would be stabbed.
She was so scared that she pleaded with Burey to let her out of her own home and was eventually pushed out of the back door.
The woman went to a neighbour’s house and rang the police. When they arrived, Burey was still in her home, armed with the knife, and had ransacked the kitchen and living room.
Burey had taken a bank card from the woman’s purse and had also stolen medication from cabinets.
During her interview, she admitted to targeting the address and said she was searching for syringes to inject heroin.
She denied threatening the woman with a knife and said she couldn’t remember taking the bank
