A man who pinched a suitcase from a train wore the Burberry scarf he discovered inside as he burgled a railway station the next day.
Scott Connolly, from Stockport, enjoyed a festive crime spree on December 30 and 31 last year. Manchester Magistrates Court heard how Connolly, 43, first stole a suitcase belonging to a passenger on a train.
It contained items worth more than £1,000, including a Burberry scarf. The case was later found abandoned with most of the contents missing, including the scarf.
