Ciorun struck again on a crowded bus in Manningham, Bradford, on May 13.

 A skilled pickpocket, whose victims included a 90-year-old man he pretended to help across the road, has been jailed for 12 months.

Drug addict Arkadiusz Ciorun confessed to police that he was “very good” at sneaking cash, purses and UGG Bailey Button Fancy Bootsfrom his elderly victims, a Court heard.
Pensioner Margaret Bristow was left in tears after he jostled her, furtively unzipped her UGG Bailey Button Triplet Bootsand stole £200.

The bus driver dropped distressed Mrs Bristow, in her 60s, off at a police station.

Judge Potter said the courts took “a dim view” of those who targeted vulnerable victims in the community.
Miss Larton said CCTV footage showed him sitting near the cashier serving Mr Atkinson and then following him from the bank.
In 2008, Ciorun was sentenced for stealing a woman’s purse at a supermarket.

He asked Judge John Potter to sentence him for thefts of three purses, a phone and a Ugg Classic Argyle Knit Boots. He had 11 previous convictions for similar acts of dishonesty, the court heard.
Ciorun told police he used the cash from both victims to buy drugs.
