Vile robber ripped handbag from 'extremely vulnerable' 82-year-old woman in mobility scooter
12.06.2024 - 10:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A vile robber targeted an elderly woman in a mobility scooter and followed her before ripping her handbag away. Dominic West, 29, watched his 82-year-old victim before grabbing her bag and stealing it with force as she struggled.
West, 29, said he’d lost his job and was ‘struggling financially’ at the time. Before locking him up, a judge told West: “That may have been the case. But that is no justification for the vile attack on this vulnerable, elderly lady.”
Manchester Crown Court heard that the woman, who is also partially sighted, had been making her way home following a visit to a crematorium to pay her respects to family members. She had boarded the Metrolink and alighted at Abraham Moss stop in Cheetham Hill when West spotted her just before 11pm on February 3.

Prosecuting, David James said that West was initially in front of the woman, described as being ‘extremely vulnerable’, but he hung back so she was then ahead of him. He then began to follow her as she made her way through the streets.
West then approached from behind and grabbed her handbag, which was in her lap. She had wrapped the strap around her fingers as a security measure.
She struggled but West overpowered her and he fled with the bag, which contained £1,200 in cash which she’d been intending on banking, as well as other personal items. West ran as she screamed out for help.
Nearby residents came out to assist and one later recalled how she appeared to be ‘very shaken up’. West had ran back towards the tram stop, and was later seen on CCTV counting the cash he’d stolen, Mr James said.
The neighbours called the police and West was arrested nearby.
