Michael Sajid was sent a package after an 84 year-old woman was allegedly duped into posting it.
He initially faced seven charges but two were dropped mid-trial and he was found not proven on the others. Jurors heard evidence agreed between the prosecution and the defence that an 84 year-old woman made three separate purchases of gold bullion - totalling seven bars - between May 28 and July 2 2020.The pensioner sent six packages between those dates via Royal Mail special delivery to a Glasgow City Council flat where Sajid was the tenant since October 2019.The agreed evidence stated Sajid was working at the Lidl branch in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire at the time.
The pensioner said: "After it was successful, I was asked to buy another three. When that had gone through I was asked to buy three more."She replied: "Yes, I was. I was told to package it and send it to an address in Glasgow."But, she realised matters were "not right" when she was asked to get her sister involved as well.Miss Malcolm asked the witness how she now felt about the incidents.
