Scotswood burglar jailed after targeting city centre pub and vintage clothing store

A drugged-up burglar has been jailed after targeting a city centre pub and vintage clothing store.

Liam Percival first gained entry to BrewDog, in Newcastle, by smashing window before making-off with bottles of booze, a coat, an Amazon tablet and a wallet. A court heard that the 30-year-old then broke into DRIP Clothing, on High Bridge Street, also Newcastle, and stole nearly £800-worth worth of clothes.

The police were called after the second break-in and Percival, who matched a description given to officers, was found hiding nearby. All the clothing items were recovered.
