A "prolific offender" has been jailed after leaving his blood at the scene of a burglary. Shane Green, aged 31, smashed his way into the Lammas Leisure Centre in Sutton-in-Ashfield, causing more than £2,500 of damage and making off with more than £13,500 of goods.
As well as stealing a TV, digital radios and computer tablets during the raid in the early hours of March 18 this year, Green and two unidentified accomplices also made off with a large charity box. Police attended the scene the following day and found blood belonging to Green on a door frame.
The blood was deposited after he smashed a glass panel and cut his hand, Nottinghamshire Police reported. He was arrested later the same day still wearing the same clothes he wore during the burglary.
