Thief steals rings from girlfriend’s granny
A HEARTLESS thief stole over two-thousand pounds worth of jewellery from a St Neots grandmother.
Luke Grantham, 19, of Stonehill Road, St Neots, pleaded guilty at Huntingdon Magistrates Court to robbing his girlfriend’s grandmother of five gold rings and a �50 Dixons voucher.
He pinched the valuables between October and December last year whilst making regular visits to xx-year-old Julia Arnold’s house in The Broadwalk, Eynesbury.
He then attempted to sell the rings to family and friends before they were eventually bought by a St Neots jeweller for �150, where they were melted down, the court was told.
The 19-year-old was already on a conditional discharge for theft when he committed the crimes.

He committed the case to Peterborough Crown Court for sentencing at a date to be decided.
