Cambridgeshire homeowner spots thief from CCTV, leading to arrest and recovery of stolen goods.
Then, in March, he broke into a house on Jubilee Street that was being renovated. He stole electronics and tools, and CCTV captured him using a bin to carry TVs and microwaves.
The victim later spotted Edwards on Palmerston Road and recognized him from the video. Edwards admitted he was the person in the footage and begged the victim not to call the police.
Edwards returned four TVs and two microwaves. He claimed a homeless person had the remaining stolen items. Police apprehended him in another garden on March 23 after he tried shed doors on Flamborough Close but left empty-handed.
Police arrested him three days later; he was wearing stolen designer clothes and a stolen watch. On February 19, the court sentenced Edwards to one year and nine months after he admitted burglary and attempted burglary and faced charges for handling stolen items.
