A thief was caught fast asleep in the cab of a lorry used to drive a stolen trailer away from a Nottinghamshire business. Derby Crown Court heard how 53-year-old drug addict Timothy Green was a member of a gang that stole two high-value vehicles filled with goods from FLX Logistics in Fulwood Road South, Huthwaite.
As reported by Derbyshire Live, the group was filmed on CCTV taking the first one and then returning for a second which the defendant drove to a unit that was rented under a false name. But when police officers arrived there later that morning they found Green sleeping behind the driver's wheel.
Jailing him for 15 months, Recorder Adrian Reynolds said: "Your life is just a succession of prison sentences. You come out of prison, go back on the drugs, then go back to prison, you don't seem to learn anything.
