4. Stancu-Sorin Baiaram
Baiaram, 26, was jailed for three years and four months for robbing the pensioner he followed home from the pub. He grabbed the 86-year-old man from behind and tackled him to the floor then stole the victim’s wallet, which contained around £50 in cash and his bank cards before running away. Sadly the victim died two months after the robbery - in the village of Newton Solney - and never had the opportunity to see Baiaram brought to justice.
