A burglar was spotted on CCTV wandering around a hotel he’d broken into wearing a high-vis jacket. Ryan Parker had sneaked into the Mitre Hotel, in the city centre, at around 5am when he caught the attention of the female guard.
The night porter, who was sat in reception monitoring the CCTV cameras, heard something fall and saw Parker, 49, walk past the camera wearing the neon-coloured jacket.
“You entered and were seen on CCTV by a witness, and curiously, wearing a high-visibility jacket. It seems to be a rather odd choice of clothing for somebody involved in a burglary,” Recorder Imran Shafi KC said in sentencing.
