Pensioners admit newsagent raid

Two pensioners believed to be Scotland's oldest robbers have admitted stealing more than £2,000 in cash and goods from a newsagents in Glasgow.

Richard Mulhearn, 70, and 72-year-old James Adams raided MK & Co newsagents, on Byres Road, in October last year.



Glasgow Sheriff Court heard how Mulhearn distracted the shop assistant by asking her about light bulbs while Adams made off with the goods.

Sentence on both men was deferred for reports and they were released on bail. Sheriff Linda Ruxton told the men that a jail sentence was "utmost" in her mind.
