A burglar who stole from a woman's bedroom while she slept was caught out after the victim’s daughter saw he had been bragging about the theft on Facebook.
Three-strikes burglar Lee Cunningham stole the woman’s handbag from her bedside table and the keys to two cars on the driveway.
She awoke in the early hours to find her bedroom door open and the driver’s doors were open on both cars.
Cunningham, 38, from Middlesbrough, got away from the house with £250 in cash and gold jewellery, and by 5am he had withdrawn £1250 from ATMs using her bank cards.
The next day the woman’s daughter, acting on information, went on Facebook and saw that he had been bragging about taking cash from a house in Ormesby.
Cunningham was then arrested and was found to be on a curfew - but had ripped off his electronic tag and disposed of it.
