Woman hunted for robbing own grandad

    Police are hunting a woman after she helped her boyfriend rob her own grandad.

    Sherie North was jailed for four years in her absence after Court of Appeal judges found a two-year suspended sentence was "unduly lenient".

    North, 24, admitted two counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery with her then partner Scott Cross, 34, in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

    Bradford Crown Court heard how she assisted her boyfriend in stealing jewellery and cash from her 70-year-old grandfather, after Cross had threatened the pensioner with a hammer. The court was told the robbery was to feed a drug habit. The pair then went on to rob a shop.

    Cross was jailed for nine years and a warrant for North’s arrest has been issued.
