A COP who stole £300 from a vulnerable man after being called to his home is facing jail.

PC Qumar Ahmed, 31, lifted the cash from David Crawford while visiting him in his sheltered housing complex in East Kilbride.

David, 62, reported the missing funds and a search of Ahmed’s home discovered almost £250.

The cop and a colleague from East Kilbride police station had visited the victim after concerns had been raised for his wellbeing.
