A doctor had his bike stolen as he battled to save lives in intensive care during the Covid pandemic.
While Dr Aiden Turner was working long over his shift trying to help patients at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, prolific thief Callum Graylish helped himself to his bike. A court heard he has a number of previous convictions for doing the same thing in and around Newcastle city centre and went on to steal two more bikes from the grounds of Newcastle University.
Graylish, who has 95 previous convictions, was also found to have large amounts of the drug Spice, worth hundreds of pounds. Now the 26-year-old, of Cambourne Grove, Bensham, Gateshead, has been jailed for 16 months at Newcastle Crown Court after he pleaded guilty to three counts of theft and one of possessing Spice with intent to supply.
