Once inside, Gary Parkes and Liam Byrom proceeded to steal hairdryers, curlers, straighteners and other beauty products.
However, Gary Parkes was already on an electronic tag, having been recently released from prison, so it did not take officers long to track them down.

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?

This merely goes to show that releasing such criminals early is pointless. What should happen is that all convicts serve the full term and if convicted again, face twice as long behind bars as before. After only 5-6 offences, they will die in jail, which is the best place for them so that the public is protected.
