A CARDENDEN man who stole from his grandmother has been sent to jail.

Stephen Scott, 44, of Carden Castle Park, appeared for sentencing at Dunfermline Sheriff Court on Wednesday.

He had earlier admitted that on May 6, 2017 and May 17, 2017, at a house in Craigside Road, Cardenden, he stole a bank card

He then, between May 17, 2017 and September 19, 2017, used the bank card at TSB Kirkcaldy and elsewhere and stole £7010.

The court heard that the money was taken when 67 separate transactions were made over several months.

Sheriff Chris Shead said he had reached the conclusion that there was no appropriate disposal for Scott other than a custodial one and jailed him for six months.
