A burglar from Newcastle who targeted the home of a woman who had been moved into care twice in the space of a year has been jailed.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that Paul Docherty of Stratford Grove West broke into a Newcastle flat in March, taking a television and a charm bracelet. Then, on October 1, he was spotted gaining entry to the same property, this time taking a television set.
A member of the public called the police and Docherty was subsequently identified as the suspect and arrested. Under interview, the offender admitted both burglaries.
