Bradford drug addict jailed for stealing from bank security guard

    A drug addict from Bradford has been jailed for stealing from a cash in-transit security guard.

    Shamraze Hussain, 28, and an accomplice stole £1,000 in coins in an attack outside the Barclays Bank on Carlisle Street, in Manningham, on 14 July.

    Bradford Crown Court heard how Hussain had three weeks previously robbed a gold locket from the neck of a 75-year-old woman.

    His barrister claimed he was remorseful and had committed the crimes while he was in the grip of a heroin addiction.

    He was sentenced to four years in prison.
