Weston burglar bit victim in violent raid with knives and pool ball in sock

Three men who stormed into a house with knives and a sock containing a pool ball to raid it have been jailed for a combined total of 24 years.

One of the three Weston-super-Mare thugs even bit one of the victims on the arm, and the wound later got infected, a court was told.

They ran off when people in the supported living accommodation they were raiding pressed a panic button - but they were caught and convicted because one of the knives they used had the DNA of all three on it.
