A mother and son have been jailed for conspiring to steal £8,000 that was collected to pay for a wedding.

Women from the Sikh community were counting the money in September when an armed man burst into the Southampton address and took the cash, police said.

One of the women - Kalwant Kaur, 41, of Union Road - pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle and was jailed at Southampton Crown Court for 15 months.

Jung Singh Lankanpal, 22, was jailed for 30 months for the same offence.

Lankanpal, of the same address as his mother, also admitted possession of an imitation firearm.

Police said a getaway car, which was used in the raid in Clovelly Road on 15 September, was traced to Kaur, leading to the pair's arrests.

Det Con Jess Swift said: "Kaur and Lankanpal made a cold and callous decision to steal such a large sum of money from people they knew, money which was meant to help people in their community.

"Despite Kaur trying to present herself as a witness to a crime, it was quickly established she had used her knowledge to help orchestrate this burglary.

"I hope this provides the local community some reassurance and gives them some justice for what happened."

Moral of the story. Walk for so long it's not worth sifting the cctv. I mean don't steal it's stupid and evil.
