A mother and her young son were left frightened in their own home after burglars smashed their way in and stole valuables.
The woman returned from taking her dog for a walk to find a glass door to the house had been broken and around £1,500 of items had been taken, including her son's games console and her bike.
Now Paul Young has joined Dylan Newall, who was locked up for the burglary in Houghton-le-Spring and other offences last year, behind bars. As Young was jailed at Newcastle Crown Court, the woman they burgled said in a victim impact statement: "After the burglary I was angry and scared about these people coming into my house. Also the bairn's stuff that was stolen was not replaceable.
