Man turns to crime to support cancer-stricken mum

Two thieves who targeted a scrap metal merchants in Scunthorpe have been jailed, after one claimed he had turned to crime in order to support his cancer-stricken mum.

The incident occurred on January 2 at around 9:50pm.

Florin Ciuraru, 25, and Marius Ilie, 33, of no fixed address, have admitted to burglary.

The men were spotted by eagle-eyed security camera operators and Humberside Police were soon alerted to the break-in.

During the raid, the pair targeted LAS Metals on Midland Road at night to steal a valuable haul of copper.
Twenty sacks of scrap copper, valued at £4,000, had been removed, with damage to the premises being estimated at around £2,000.
One of the men claimed that he was simply trying to raise cash for his dying mother.
She was suffering from cancer at the time and he wanted to send money home to her – but she had since died.
