- 5 years ago
A teenage burglar armed with a poker hid in a wardrobe for 13 hours after being disturbed during a daytime break-in, a court heard. At 4am, Aaron Bradford sneaked out, stole a Toshiba laptop and left the house. But he didn't realise that the householder had installed indoor CCTV after previous break-ins to the property in Tavistock Road, Derriford. Police were on the lookout for the hooded youngster and arrested him as he walked along the A386 between Yelverton and Horrabridge with the stolen laptop in a rucksack.
