A LOUSY thief who nicked a granddad’s winning cash from a bookies shop just moments after his horse won has been warned to return the money – or face the police.
The 80-year-old was in the bookmakers shop in Park Avenue in Derry collecting his winnings when the incident happened.
Family friends say the pensioner left the cash down on the counter for a second – and another man grabbed it and ran out the door.
“This man is 80 years old and distraught. All we ask is that whoever took it please get in contact through Pat Ramsey MLA to return it please before the police become involved and view CCTV,” said the family friend in a post on the SDLP man’s Facebook page.
