Grand Theft Awkward: Man accused of burglary after trying to hand in 'stolen' retro games

HE 'TRIED TO DO THE RIGHT THING' BUT ENDED UP ADMITTING HANDLING STOLEN GOODS, HULL CROWN COURT HEARD

- By MARK NAYLOR

POLICE “turned away” a man who tried to hand in a haul of vintage video games and computer equipment that he suspected were stolen - and arrested him on suspicion of burglary.

Stephen Storr “tried to do the right thing” by going to the police after he “came into possession” of the items that had been stolen from a storage container unit - and he was warned at Hull Crown Court : “Be more careful in future.”

Storr, 54, of Helm Drive, Victoria Dock, Hull, admitted an offence of handling stolen goods between April 1 and October 7, 2023. He had denied burglary.
