A burglar has been given another chance to keep her freedom after raiding a home in the dead of night while on a suspended sentence for another break in.
Danielle Parker, who has an 'appalling' record, had the previous sentence hanging over her and was also on a community order for handling stolen goods but still she targeted a property. A court heard she got a garage door key fob from the owner's car and used it to access the garage and an attached home office.
Newcastle Crown Court heard the home on Woodburn Drive, Whitley Bay, was burgled on July 19 last year while the family were in bed. The next morning they found £537 cash, sunglasses and a wallet containing bank cards had been stolen and used fraudulently to buy food, drink and a Metro ticket worth more than £100.
