Householder grabs 'short' burglar's hat and brings him to justice

A burglar who entered a woman's home was so short the householder thought he was a child. But when she snatched off his hat it revealed 46-year-old Jamie Edney, who made a run for it with £80.

Police called to the scene took the hat as evidence. And the forensic lab discovered his DNA and he was arrested.

Edney, 46, of Austen Court in Weston-super-Mare, pleaded guilty to burglary in March. Judge Keith Cutler jailed him for 28 months.
