A serial burglar handed himself in to police almost 30 years after his crimes. Stuart McDonald confessed to 18 crimes when he turned up at a police station.
Now the 51-year-old is starting a 16 month jail sentence after admitting the offences when he appeared at court. McDonald, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to a range of crimes which took place from 1993 to 2006.
DC Lisa Bacon, of Cambridgeshire Police, explained why he had decided to come clean. She said: “McDonald has made the decision to clear his offending past and get the support he needs to prevent him returning to a life of crime.”
