A burglar who tried doors to people's homes and stole car keys during a night time spree has been jailed.
Jack Riddell wandered around neighbouring Spennymoor streets on the night of November 25 this year and attempted to enter people's houses. The 22-year-old entered one home and stole keys before trying the doors of other premises before he was finally arrested.
Riddell, of Sledmore Drive, Spennymoor, appeared at Durham Crown Court on Thursday via link from HMP Durham to be sentenced for four counts of attempted burglary, burglary with intent to steal, and dwelling burglary and theft. He had pleaded guilty to the charges at a previous hearing.
