A wanted teen who was found by police hiding inside a teddy bear was one of the criminals jailed in Greater Manchester this week.
A serial domestic abuser who strangled his pregnant girlfriend just days after she helped him avoid jail for assaulting her has also been put behind bars. An 'intoxicated' man who took a shortcut along a railway meaning 13 trains had to be delayed, costing almost £10,000 in damages was also among those locked up in our region.
Jail sentences are handed out to the worst offenders each week and Manchester Evening News reporters are in court to cover the most serious cases.
