Three burglars who were caught in the act of breaking into a town centre shop have been sentenced. Officers were in Newark town centre when they heard an alarm going off nearby.
After following the sound to Kirkgate, they saw that a store had been broken into and the intruders were still inside. As officers moved in through the front door, Christopher Binns was the first to try to make his escape but was brought to a halt.
His co-conspirator Michael Richens then managed to climb through a window and run from the scene but didn’t get far before he was also detained. Officers carried out a further search of the inside of the shop at this point, where they found Christopher Storton trying to hide under some coats.
