An opportunistic thief who sneaked into St James’ Park and a Newcastle hospital to steal from staff will spend the next 36 weeks behind bars.

Terence Mann took laptops, mobile phones and a computer base unit on February 23.

A court was told how the incidents both took place on the same day that Newcastle United played host to Huddersfield Town at St James’ Park.

Mann admitted swiping the bag from a Premier League official after entering the press area of the stadium where the bag was left unattended.

CCTV also caught Mann leaving the stadium with the bag that contained a laptop, two mobile phones and the owner’s credit cards.

After leaving the stadium, he headed towards the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) where he snuck into the hospital through an open window.

A security guard became suspicious after observing a panicked Mann dumping the rucksack in the accident and emergency department.

He went to review CCTV and was shocked when the footage showed Mann stealing a computer base unit and fleeing through the same window.

Police were called and they were able to return the stolen rucksack to the staff member at St James’ Park before quickly identifying Mann as the offender.

PC Paul Lewins, of the Newcastle City Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team, said:

“Terence Mann is your definition of an opportunistic thief and he deserves to be behind bars.

“On the day in question he was walking around Newcastle looking for opportunities to commit offences and steal people’s property.

“He told police in interview that he dumped the rucksack at the RVI because he wanted to return it to its rightful owner.

“But then Mann went on to steal a computer hard drive from the hospital which means his account had no credibility.

“It says a lot about his character that he would steal from a hospital and I am glad that magistrates deemed his offending serious enough to warrant a custodial sentence.”

Mann was also made to pay a victim surcharge of £115.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
