Omar Mohammed, 24, went into numerous shops after a man’s bank card and SIM card were stolen on a night out in October 2019.

He withdrew £1,500 from the man’s account, then went to the Sync Store on Deansgate, then onto the Nike Factory in Cheetham Hill.

In a statement the man said he felt ‘humiliated and upset’ by what had happened, Minshull Street Crown Court heard. Nine months later, another man’s bank card was used to hire a VW Golf.
