Stanley burglar who broke into Airbnb jailed after stealing bank card to buy booze

A burglar who broke into an Airbnb has been put behind bars after stealing a man's bank card and using it to buy booze.

Christopher Kenning was given a suspended sentence at Durham Crown Court in April for burgling an Airbnb holiday home near Durham, last year. The 42-year-old, along with another man, stole a TV set from the holiday home, which was not occupied at the time.

But despite avoiding an immediate prison sentence for the burglary, Kenning went on to commit further offences a month later on May 16, when he broke into a car and stole a man's bank card. He then went to an Asda in Stanley and bought over £40 worth of booze.
