Jailed: Man who stole thousands of pounds from vulnerable customers at Wednesfield cash point
A man who stole thousands of pounds after a series of robberies and thefts at the cash point outside a Wednesfield bank has been jailed.
Amran Naaim carried out the offences outside Lloyds Bank in Church Street, Wednesfield between September last year and April this year, getting away with £4,060 in total from innocent customers of the bank who were attempting to use the machine to withdraw cash.
Amongst his victims was a 71-year-old man who he followed and took his bank card, and a man who he duped out of over £400 which was earmarked for his wedding.
Wolverhampton Crown Court heard Naaim, aged 30, had a long record of 20 convictions involving 51 offences dating back to 2007, mainly for dishonesty, theft , robbery and fraud and had spent a substantial amount of time already in prison.
The first offence he appeared for, on September 7 last year, saw him approach a man who was using the cash point and diverted him by trying to convince him the machine was not working properly whilst an accomplice came up beside him.
