Irish burglar on the run from UK

British police are asking people in this country to be on the lookout for a fugitive Irish man who was once described as Britain’s most prolific burglar.

Peter Kerrigan has carried out multiple break-ins targeting elderly people and is the most wanted criminal among London’s Hackney Police.

“He preyed on the elderly, vulnerable and disabled by impersonating a police officer or council official,” said Detective Inspector Paul Ridley of Hackney Police.
