Burglar Breaks Into a "Home" Rigged by The Police

Gary "The Grinch" Liddle, 28, was caught raiding an address in Jesmond, Newcastle which had been rigged with police cameras as part of an undercover sting and will spend christmas and new year behind bars. Liddle did he know that this house wasn't lived in and was being monitored by police. He is seen climbing through the window and leaving with a bike and a smart phone, which were fitted with trackers and led cops to their man. Liddle was arrested after the break-in on December 19 and appeared at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court on Monday where he was jailed for 18 weeks after pleading guilty to burglary and a separate theft from a motor vehicle.
