A serial burglar who has been breaking into people's homes since he was a child is back behind bars.
Lee Regan was first convicted of burglary when he was just 15 and despite only being 21 he has already racked up 44 convictions, including for robbery and driving offences.
Newcastle Crown Court heard it was around 7.30am on December 6 last year that his latest victim woke up to find his home in South Gosforth, Newcastle, had been broken into. Regan had taken his car keys and stolen his Audi A1 from outside.
