An Irish labourer went on a 12-hour burglary spree nabbing over €1,680 in cash along with tablets and phones - just before he was to be given the boot from Australia.
Fionnbharr McHugh, 32, was set to be deported from the country for overstaying his visa but is now facing sentence over his thefts in a Sydney suburb earlier this year.
It was two months after the incidents when cops made a breakthrough in the case and then nailed McHugh after CCTV revealed he wore a pair of runners which investigators found he was in possession of when they moved on him.
