A serial thief has been jailed after he was caught trying to sell his stolen goods to a sceptical second-hand shop.
Chris Cook was arrested in connection with the burglaries of two city centre flats and was on bail when he targeted a number of businesses in the Collingwood Buildings in Newcastle on January 18.
Newcastle Crown Court heard how the repeat offender was captured on CCTV damaging a number of the units inside the property in the early hours of the morning, before stealing two Cannon cameras worth around £2000 each, 15 phones, four laptops and two speakers.
