 | | Mulley, of Milburn Street, Millfield, claimed he had kicked his drug habit and was going back into education at City of Sunderland College after falling for Sara Siddiqui, 25, who he met when she worked in a city takeaway. |
 | | But Sunderland magistrates heard Mulley, 25, was back to his old ways when he appeared for a string of offences, including snatching the handbag of Gladys Lownie on April 12, while the weary pensioner sat down in the street for a breather. |
 | | Mr Armstrong said Mulley had received positive reports from a number of support agencies, and had not realized the lady was a pensioner when he seized the opportunity to grab the handbag from the floor while she was rummaging around in other bags. |
