Irish labourer went on 12-hour burglary spree stealing cash, tablets and phones just before being kicked out of Australia

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.
