A burka-wearing armed robber jailed for targeting the phone shop he worked at has been found guilty of stealing £31,000 on his final day working as a bank clerk.

Aneel Khan, of Great Woodcote Park, Purley, is already serving five years for a robbery at a Phones 4 U store in Putney on October 2012.

On that day he and an accomplice got away with more than £40,000 of phones, accessories and cash after threatening a sales assistant with a meat cleaver while they were dressed in burkas.

The 28-year-old forced the assistant, a customer and store manager into a locked cage area in the basement before tying them up.

Khan had previously worked at the Phones 4 U store. He was convicted in October last year.

On Monday, July 13, he was given a two year jail sentence for a crime he committed in May 2013, on his final day working at a Santander branch in Roehampton.

He transferred £31,000 inheritance money from a customer’s savings account into his friend Hani Aly’s account.

This money had been left to the customer by his late mother.

The bank’s security checks on high value transfers by staff identified the fraud and officers from the Metropolitan and City of London Police's dedicated card and payment crime unit were brought in to investigate.

CCTV images showed Khan and Aly, of Enterprise Way, Wandsworth, withdrawing the money from Aly’s account at a number of branches.

Khan was arrested at Gatwick on his way home from a Caribbean holiday paid for with some of the stolen money.

At the Old Bailey a jury found him guilty of conspiracy to defraud, abuse of a position of trust and concealing criminal property.

Aly, 28, changed his plea to guilty for the three charges and was given a two year sentence, suspended for two years, along with a one year supervision order.

Speaking after Khan was sentenced for the Phones 4 U robbery last October a Metropolitan Police spokesman said finding the culprits required "a lengthy and complex investigation".
