Jail terms increased for gang who targeted elderly people in their West Yorkshire homes

A gang of robbers who targeted elderly people in West Yorkshire will spend longer behind bars after their original sentences were referred to the Court of Appeal.

Solicitor General Robert Buckland QC MP considered the sentences handed to ringleader Gerald McCann and four teenagers were unduly lenient and asked for a review.

The gang had committed a series of robberies against elderly victims, specifically targeting them because of their vulnerability and using force against them when they entered their homes.
