Man handed himself in after seeing doorbell camera photo of his attempted burglary

DRUG USER THEN LATER DENIED BEING INVOLVED

- By MARK NAYLOR

A YOUNG drug user tried his luck at seeing if he could burgle a house but he soon ended up in hot water after the occupier watched telltale doorbell camera pictures of what was going on - as it was actually happening.

A damning screenshot was posted of the incident on social media and it led to the would-be intruder recognising himself and handing himself in to police. But, despite the evidence against him, he later tried to talk his way out of trouble by initially claiming that he was not involved, Hull Crown Court heard.
