A burglar who stole children's cystic fibrosis medication after being released on licence for previous break-ins is back behind bars.
Peter Todd had been let out of prison to serve the remainder of a 95 month sentence for house burglaries on licence when he went back to his old ways. He tried to break into one family home then raided a nearby outhouse, stealing the medication.
A judge at Newcastle Crown Court said the public would be "outraged" to hear that he was only recalled to prison for 28 days for breaching his licence on the previous sentence by committing the latest offences.
