A "mean" burglar stole presents from a hotel room while the occupant was asleep in the early hours of Christmas Eve.

- by Karon Kelly

On December 23 last year the guest had gift-wrapped a Smeg kettle and toaster, worth £289, and went to bed at around midnight in the seafront hotel in Sunderland.

Newcastle Crown Court heard in the early hours of December 24 that serial criminal Ryan Carney, who has 104 convictions on his record, crept in and took the presents, as well as the victim's £499 laptop he needed for work.

Prosecutor Laura Peto said Carney had been seen by another guest with the gifts and carrying the laptop in his waistband.
