The pair ran from the scene, leaving behind a bag filled with bathroom mixer taps.

However they made the decision to return to the site, and were seen getting into a silver car before it was driven away.

Officers stopped the vehicle and the pair were arrested and charged with burglary.

Matthew Ridyard, 28, of John Street, Rhyl, was jailed for six months after pleading guilty to burglary, while his co-defendant Michael Brady, 45, of Bath Street, Rhyl, was handed a 20-week sentence suspended for 18 months.

Llandudno Magistrates Court yesterday heard the incident occurred at the Pontins Prestatyn Sands holiday park on the evening of September 16 last year.
