## Resource

Two young men, Ahmad Siddique and Lewis Reddington, both 21, have pleaded guilty to assaulting and robbing two elderly women in Edinburgh—88 and 93 years old—in a brazen August 2024 attack. After forcing them out of their car and stealing it, the getaway ended when one victim used her phone’s tracking feature to help police locate the vehicle. DNA evidence led to their arrest. Siddique, already sentenced to six years for a 2023 rape, now faces additional charges. A third suspect, 21-year-old Connor Paterson, admitted to supplying cannabis, with drugs and cash found at a property tied to him and Reddington. The court awaits sentencing reports, weighing the victims’ trauma and the trio’s escalating criminal pattern. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
