Burglar Adrian John Gilroy jailed after turning back to crime
Lowerhouses man blames drink and drugs for offending
Police disturbed a burglar inside a student house in Huddersfield after a call from an alert neighbour.
Leeds Crown Court heard Adrian John Gilroy was seen acting suspiciously near the property in Somerset Road, Almondbury, around midnight on July 10.
Michael Smith, prosecuting, said the students who lived in the property were on a night out. The neighbour saw a man walking toward the house with a piece of wood or wooden crate and called the police.
Meanwhile, Gilroy used the object to get into the house through a window and once inside he went through a number of rooms selecting property such as laptops and electronic games which he put into a plastic bag.
When police arrived they could see him inside with the bag but when they challenged him from outside he abandoned the bag and fled one way as the police got inside through another.
He got away from the scene but was arrested later that night and said: “What have I got myself into?”
The stolen property had not been taken away and also a bag was found nearby containing Gilroy’s personal papers including his passport.
