A heartless act targeting an 82-year-old woman in her wheelchair has resulted in a three-year-and-three-month prison sentence for 21-year-old Troy Wildin. The incident occurred in November 2023 when Wildin targeted the elderly victim while she was shopping with her daughter in a Rotherham supermarket.
Sheffield Crown Court heard how Wildin carefully observed the mother and daughter as they withdrew money from a cash machine before seizing the opportunity to snatch the victim’s handbag and flee the scene. Quick-thinking shoppers witnessed the robbery, chased after Wildin, and managed to block his path until police arrived, saving the victim’s bag and its contents.
