A woman arrived home to find a burglar coming down the stairs with her television under his arm – and now he has been sent back to jail.

More than two years and four months of a three-year sentence was suspended for Liam Hurley back in November 2019 but that was on condition  he would keep the peace, commit no further offences and comply with the directions of the probation service.
