A renowned pest made off with bottles of booze after burgling a well-known Tyneside pub.
A previously reported on Chroniclelive in 2020, prolific crook Kevin Batey has a shameful record, which include offences of outraging public decency where he clutched his groin and flashed his genitals to members of public on a busy street in Byker, Newcastle.
The 34-year-old was given a night-time curfew and a warning by from a district judge on that occasion in December 2020. However, less than a year later, the thief was back to his long-running criminal ways.
