Addict cleared of murder jailed for street robberies
Yorkshire Evening Post
|July 04, 2025
A desperate drug addict who tried to rob a frail pensioner outside her home has been jailed, two years after he was cleared of murder.
Patrick Mason attempted to snatch the handbag from around the woman's neck after following her from a shop, then two days later pulled a knife on two terrified females, stealing items worth more than £3,500.
The 37-year-old was jailed for nine years at Leeds Crown Court after it was heard he displayed “predatory behaviour”.
Mason had been released from remand in 2023, having been cleared of the brutal slaying of Bradley Wall, who was fatally beaten with a paving slab by his friend, Aiden Ramsdale.
