A burglar who broke into a Newcastle BrewDog bar and stole over £1,000 worth of booze before committing more offences has been jailed.
Graeme Park broke into the popular Dean Street bar in the early hours of January 7 this year and made off with £1,200 worth of alcohol. Months later, the 43-year-old went on to buy £100 worth of booze with a stolen bank card and then attempted to burgle a home in Gateshead. After being caught and admitting the offences, Park failed to turn up to court for sentencing on two occasions.
Park, of Bedale Court, Harlow Green, Gateshead, appeared at Newcastle Crown Court on Monday to be sentenced for burglary, attempted burglary, fraud, allowing himself to be carried in a stolen vehicle, and two counts of failing to surrender. He had pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
