CCTV camera thief caught on film

A Plymouth burglar was caught red-handed by the security cameras he was trying to steal.

Drug addict Anthony Gardiner, 37, thought he could make some quick money by stealing CCTV cameras.

But he did not realise the cameras were recording everything he did as he reached up to grab them.

Gardiner admitted two thefts and asked for seven to be considered. Plymouth magistrates called him a "rubbish burglar" and adjourned sentencing.
