Burglary in Pellatt road.

[singalto]

Well done to the wonderful person in Pellatt road who saw a burglar climb through the window at the front of the house. The burglar was caught as a result of you dialling 999. Please, if anyone sees anything suspicious ring 999, not 111.

Not to break your spirits, but usually they all get released etc if they haven't got caught before. Its good that he got caught and prolly the crime was prevented, but expect him to be out on the streets doing the same soon enough.

That's not true unless the person in question is a minor (which can often be the case). If he is a minor he would get a referral order (which honestly is more appropriate than a custodial sentence for a minor with no criminal record). The police are actually trying to connect this man to a series of break-ins in the area though.

Not sure what the point of posting about potential criminal justice outcomes is though. The courts have their rules for valid reasons. People were celebrating a neighbour preventing a crime and the police being able to apprehend the responsible party.
