A burglar who targeted four properties within a few hours left a fingerprint at one of the crime scenes. Joel Paris, 23, was linked to a series of burglaries which took place on the morning of September 21 last year at homes in Hyson Green, Nottingham.
Paris first struck at an address in Brushfield Street, where he broke in through a kitchen window and stole medication between 5am and 7am that day. A few doors away, he entered another home and took cash, bank cards and rucksack full of school books, which were later found dumped in a nearby garden.
Paris then broke into a garage in nearby Gregory Boulevard and stole a bicycle, before attempting to break into another home in the same street through a window. Forensics and CCTV footage linked Joel Paris to the series of incidents.
