    Pickpocket sisters get jail terms
    Anne-Marie McDonagh
    Anne-Marie McDonagh

    A PICKPOCKET who stole money from elderly women with her sister has been jailed.

    Anne-Marie McDonagh, aged 39, of Bekesbourne Tower, Wichling Close, Orpington, was given an 18-month jail term at Croydon Crown Court on May 1.

    McDonagh and her sister, Mary, aged 25, of the same address, had both pleaded guilty to three charges of theft and one charge of attempted theft.

    The sisters had asked for 17 other matters to be taken into consideration at Bromley Magistrates' Court on January 28.

    Mary McDonagh was given a six-month jail term on the same day.

    Bromley police's Detective Inspector Jane Corrigan said: "I am pleased with the significant prison sentence handed down to Anne-Marie McDonagh, as it will afford her plenty of time to reflect on her crimes.

    "Those who commit this type of offence must expect to be punished severely."

    What scum. I am pleased they were given prison terms but I doubt they will serve the duration of them.

    I hope their elderley victims don't have to go through anything like this again.

    It makes me laugh when they ask for other matters to be TIC, did these sisters have any consideration for their other 17 victims?
    No I thought not.

    Why aren't there any posts on this story saying they should be deported? (see - Trio jailed for gunpoint robberies After all they are clearly immigrants - they have foreign sounding names?

    I believe that on their release they are being deported to St Mary Cray
    - The STAR LANE CAMP.

    Just look at the state of this woman. 39 years old?? I don't think so. Do these women ever get a man or a woman come to think of it?? What is that expression all about?

    J, Bromley dear oh dear you really have got the wrong end of the stick haven't you? Look before you leap springs to mind.

    Sadly, as any story on this site proves, there are not enough people like me. Far too many people base their (usually negative) comments on the ethnicity of the people involved. I was trying to highlight that, but it obviously went straight over your head.

    Too many people react without thinking. Unfortunately you appear to be one of them.

    To all my relations above - good to hear from you all. I am sorry that you have not yet escaped the depravity of our old home. I gave you the opportunity but if you prefer your way of life - robbing old folk,conning folk about driveways that dont need repairing,missing tiles that arnt missing,a bit of burglary and benefit fraud - then I am ashamed to be related to you. My time in the Paras taught me decency rightfulness and respect and also that there are more musical instruments in the world than the Banjo and mouth Organ.

    You are welcome to visit me in West Wickham any time - but if you do come please dont leave all your rubbish on the green like last time.

    Anyway it makes sense to "agree to differ"
