A "career thief" who burgled two pubs on the same day has been jailed.
Brian Walton, along with an unidentified accomplice, burgled a Wetherspoon's pub on September 16 this year before going to another pub and burgling that as the female licensee and her daughter slept upstairs. The 37-year-old took money from a safe, two charity boxes and sets of keys in the burglaries.
Walton, of Sycamore Street, Ashington, appeared at Newcastle's Moot Hall on Wednesday to be sentenced for two counts of non-domestic burglary. He had pleaded guilty to the charges.
