Two men who used a 12-year- old boy to trick his way into the homes of the elderly across the South-east and rob them were jailed at the Old Bailey. Anthony McDonagh, 29, and Francis McDonagh, 28, both of north London, were jailed for three years and five years respectively. The boy, now 13, was said to have a mental age of six and was put into council care, but he escaped.
