The poor woman in question has asked to remain anonymous, and you can understand why, but whoever she is, she certainly had a rollercoaster of a night.<\/p>\nImagine how you would feel if you won \u00a3500 at the bingo.<\/p>\n
Pretty darn pleased with yourself right? Ok, \u00a3500 won’t change your life, but it can buy a lot of cool stuff, or pay for a few fancy evenings out, or you could put it away for a rainy day if you are sensible like that.<\/p>\n
Whatever you chose to do with it, it’s not an insubstantial amount of money so more or less anyone would be delighted to win it.<\/p>\n
Now imagine that same \u00a3500, along with some money of your own, was stolen from you on the very same night that you won it.<\/p>\n
This is exactly what happened to a resident of Dundee in Scotland, who had just enjoyed a very successful evening at her local Buzz Bingo.<\/p>\n
It sounds like a terrible thing to experience, but this story does have a happy ending of sorts.<\/p>\n
Here is what we know.<\/p>\n
The poor woman in question has asked to remain anonymous, and you can understand why, but whoever she is, she certainly had a rollercoaster of a night.<\/p>\n
Having taken \u00a3250 from a cashpoint and heading to her favourite bingo hall, the Buzz on the Stack Retail Park of Harefield Road in Dundee, the lady went on to win a very tasty \u00a3500 prize.<\/p>\n
This was paid to her in cash, so on top of the \u00a3250 cash she already had, this meant she was walking around with a whopping \u00a3750 in her pocket.<\/p>\n
Somehow, local scum bag John Lawrie found out about her good fortune, and decided that he wanted her winnings for himself.<\/p>\n
At 3am the next morning, with our bingo winner fast asleep beside her husband, Lawrie broke into their house via a bathroom window, and snuck into their bedroom where he began rifling through a handbag containing the cash.<\/p>\n
The poor woman actually woke up while he was there, horrified to realise a stranger was in her bedroom, and after he left with the bag she woke her husband who went to check the house was no empty and that they were safe.<\/p>\n
They were, Lawrie wasn’t there to do them any harm, but the money was gone.<\/p>\n

Luckily, while Lawrie was ‘up to tricks’ he managed to leave DNA evidence on the window that he broke in through – perhaps it was a ‘tweak of his thumb’?<\/p>\n
Since he already had a criminal record, the police had his information on file and could easily place him at the scene.<\/p>\n
Two weeks after the crime was committed, a few ‘PCs’ turned up at Lawrie’s house, where he would have heard a ‘knock at the door’, before being arrested for burglary and taken<\/p>\n
I’ll stop with the bingo call puns now.<\/p>\n
