Police have praised a Good Samaritan for helping to recover a purse that was snatched off a care home worker in Newcastle.
A TEAM of inquisitive investigators and the nose of a police dog led to the arrest, charge and conviction of a burglar – all in just 48 hours. Stephen Palmer has been jailed for four months after a raid on the Toby Carvery pub on Ponteland Road in Newcastle in the early hours of Saturday morning. The 22-year-old forced entry to the property just after 2.30am and swiped a laptop before fleeing the scene on foot. However, the break-in activated the alarm and a team of police officers were deployed to the scene. A search of the area was conducted and Palmer, who matched the description of the suspect, was found loitering nearby.
