A couple's home was ransacked and over £21,000 worth of items were stolen in a targeted burglary.
Serial burglar Thomas Quinn, 42, broke into the house in Chapel Lane, Leeds in August this year, moved a fridge and attempted to break into a safe in the floor before giving it up and stealing a Rolex and other items he found there.
Leeds Crown Court heard on Tuesday that bungling burglar Quinn was caught out after blood found at the scene matched his DNA. Prosecutor Robert Galley told the court it was the second time Quinn had targeted a home in under a year.
