A plier-wielding burglar has been jailed after he was caught red-handed by a Ring doorbell device.

The automatic camera on the Ring doorbell was activated when Aaron Drummond tried the front door of a property in Haydock Drive, in Darlington, in the early hours of the morning.

The camera caught Drummond in the middle of an overnight crime spree in which he stole a hot tub, a bouncy castle, bikes, a petrol strimmer and some jerry cans from several properties in Darlington.

Officers identified 21-year-old Drummond from the crystal clear picture, who had his hood up and was carrying a pair of pliers, and arrested and charged him with six burglaries and one count of going equipped for burglary.

Detectives also charged him with several other offences concerning several incidents, including taking a vehicle without consent, dangerous driving, and driving while disqualified and with no insurance.

Drummond, of no fixed abode, admitted the offences. 

He appeared at Teesside Crown Court last week where a judge jailed him for two-and-a-half years.

Detective Sergeant Grace Holohan, from Darlington Priority Crime Team, said: 

“We recognised Drummond straightaway from the footage – he is a prolific offender who shows absolutely no remorse for any of his victims or the effect his actions will have on them.

“I am pleased he is now behind bars and off the streets, as this will give residents of Darlington some respite from his offending.

“We are cracking down on prolific offenders, like Drummond, as part of Operation Trident, which will run throughout the winter months.

“Anyone who has any information on criminality in their area should contact us on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
