Britain’s ‘most prolific’ burglar jailed

A JOBLESS crack addict billed as Britain’s most prolific burglar was jailed for seven years yesterday.

Norman Sinclair, aged 46, stole millions of pounds of jewellery, cash and credit cards in a crime wave which earned him a place on Scotland Yard’s most wanted list.

Sinclair had pleaded guilty to 13 burglaries but had changed his mind on the 2,646 burglaries he had asked to be taken into consideration, saying he could not remember which he had committed because of his “chaotic lifestyle”, the court was told.
