Burglar caught in the act on video (From Daily Echo)

Why do these menaces get bail? especially when the victim had to virtually catch him on his own. When sentenced "immediate custodial penalty" - kind of respite care for his victims who can relax for a few weeks.

"In mitigation Sarah Jones said Islam had not re-offended in the interim, had been working and now intended to lead a law abiding life."

Oh really - so why is that 'in mitigation' I wonder?

"She claimed he had twice tried to hand himself in at the police station but he could not be arrested because there were not enough people to deal with him."

Oh really again - that is just completely unbelievable.

How could this guy plead innocent? He was bang to rights on film.

So he was bailed and did not show up. Why did it have to be the victim of the burglary to point out to the Police where this guy could be found?

At least he got a custodial sentence for his crime - but how long will he really be serving before he is freed?

Not enough people to deal with him.

Another example of the results of government cuts to police funding?

No wonder statistics say that crime has been reduced. People do not bother to report crimes because they know there are not enough police to deal with it.

Looks like you need to book an appointment to be arrested in Southampton!

As for the homeowner, well done but what a shame you had to take matters into your own hands not once but twice.

Not sure why we bother having a police service sometimes.

Its been proved again........... the law in this country is an a$$. Well done the householder. Better pictures than million pound cctv's.

Presumably if the burglar in question was white/english/christ
ian, you still have included his name in the headline?

Hscbaj. Why not, what is your problem? Not english? PRAT.

No need for insults, I'm merely asking why The Echo felt the need to include the burglars name in the headline? I doubt anyone would know him, so it seems superfluous, don't you think? Especially if you search the site for other burglary stories, showing they never do this.

I wonder if there was something specific about the the burglars name that meant the headline would be more impactful?

Course they bloody would you idiot! they do every single time there is a burglary conviction. That sort of implied racism is what causes problems. Go back and check before posting inflammatory rubbish

So to back up your point that the Echo never print burglars' names you've posted four links where the Echo has printed the burglar's name in each one. Strange logic.

I did check, thoroughly, have you? I have looked at the previous 20 news stories on here related to burglary and none of them include the persons name in the headline, aside from this one.

I don't think where your parents/grandparents were born has anything to do with it.

But if you want to play the race care then i would guess that drug related crime by British Asians is much lower than White British people.

Actually you were complaining because it was included.

Well what do you expect.

It's just a name ,what's the big deal.

Here we go! A couple of morons hogging the forum as usual.

The other cases you quote do not include convicted criminals as this case does. Who said Mohammed Islam was not English?

You see many headlines printed across the national press naming criminals - West, Suttcliffe, to name a couple, granted not burglary but proves a point.

I too am p155ed off with ethnic communities or individuals playing the race card when it suits them. Either they are part of the community or not.

Apologies Hscbaj I misread your comment. I take your point.

Chop his thieving hands off

All stories on the website carry two headlines - a normal one (which appears on the list of stories) and an SEO one (which appears on the top of the article itself).

The SEO headlines often carry details such as names and other specifics that the main headline does not carry.

You need only look through the articles uploaded today for further examples of this.

Sometimes, the SEO headline may not be filled in for various reasons, as it is not a mandatory requirement of the site.

However, completing the SEO headline with details such as names, places, etc. is good practice, as these are the sorts of terms readers search for when looking for certain stories they wish to read.

LOL !! so you think "Mr and Mrs Islam" are his parents !?!? wakey wakey....

This is a fantastic story of facts, 2 Scumbags get there comeuppance and will hopefully learn THIS LESSON:Do not enter a premises that isn't yours, it's an invasion of privacy.The majority of British people have a high tolerance of colour & religious beliefs and are not racist so Hscbaj stop thinking negatives, if it had been me it would of been exactly the same and I'm white and Atheist, give 100% credit to the victim and his inteligence not the 2 stupid idiots

He tried to hand himself in because his name was known to hundreds in the east of soton after the victim appealed on Facebook for help with his identity. The idiot was crapping himself.

'In mitigation Sarah Jones said Islam had not re-offended in the interim, had been working and now intended to lead a law abiding life'
Hahahaha, ain't that what they all say, you stupid nob, you are just sorry you got caught!

Oh & BTW my name is Mr Catholic :)
