A MASKED Oldbury raider who robbed a Parkinson's Disease sufferer and threatened his terrified daughter in their own home has been jailed for seven and a half years.

Gary Grove smashed a window to get into the property in Pedmore Walk, Oldbury, then squeezed past a mobility scooter to get into the bedroom of Christopher Shakespeare.

After waking Mr Shakespeare up the 25-year-old demanded: "Where is your money and gold?" before telling his terrified victim he would injure his 16-year-old daughter unless he produced the goods.

Grove was given a wallet containing £240 by Mr Shakespeare whose wife was in hospital at the time before waking his frightened daughter.

She was told by Grove that if she lied to him he would hit her father before he searched cupboards and drawers and fled with other property including three mobile telephones and two computers.

Timothy Sapcote, prosecuting, said: "This was a targeted raid on the home of a vulnerable person," and stressed there were obvious signs "somebody disabled lived there."

He told Wolverhampton Crown Court that Grove later admitted to police officers after his arrest he knew the man suffered from Parkinson's Disease.

Grove, of Martley Road, had denied robbery but he was found guilty after the jury retired to consider the evidence at the end of his trial.

John Evans, defending, said Grove continued to allege it was his brother who committed the offence and when the jury returned their verdict he verbally abused them from the dock.

He refused to apologise for his actions and Judge Barry Berlin ruled he would have to serve a further six months on top of the seven year jail term for the robbery.

The court was told that at the time of the offence Grove was on licence from a jail term imposed for aggravated burglary.

The mask he wore only covered part of his face and police were able to identify him from his description.

When he was arrested at the home of a relative the stolen property was recovered and his brother was also present at the time.
