By Janine Yaqoob PUBLISHED: 11:51 EST, 22 February 2013 | UPDATED: 11:55 EST, 22 February 2013 A man who stole £30,000 by sneaking into his ex-wife’s house every week for three years has been escaped jail. Bernard Young, 47, crept into the home of former wife, Lynn, in the middle of the night to steal a debit card for her brother’s bank account. Then he would break back into the house to replace it hours later, Liverpool crown court heard today. Young, who had a key to the former matrimonial home, would withdraw about £180 a time from the account of Terence Ruck, 68, before returning the card to his ex-wife’s handbag.
