'Lowest of the low' online bingo addict stole from mum and grandad to fund £1,000 a day habit
A gambling addict stole almost £19,000 from her mum and grandad to fund her online bingo habit, a court heard. Kerry Robinson, 35, spent up to £1,000 a day on the game, LancsLive reports.
David Clarke, prosecuting, told the court Robinson took £13,430 from a NatWest account registered to her grandad and £5,460 from a Lloyd's account in her mother's name. The police were informed at Robinson was interviewed under caution. Mr Clarke said Robinson had downloaded her grandad's banking app with his permission, but had channeled money into her own account when her funds ran dry. "She said in her own view her behaviour was the lowest of the low and she had hurt the ones she loved the most", he added.
James Heyworth, defending, said his client felt "remorse, shame and disappointment with herself". Robinson's family, including her mum and grandad, sat in the public gallery as she sobbed in the dock. None of them made formal police statements and they were in court to support her, Mr Heyworth said.
