Bungling burglar suspect gave police cameras close-up view

British police have issued a CCTV image of a bungling suspect as he shinned up a pole before disabling the camera.

Instead of covering his tracks, he gave officers a clear shot of his face when he reached up to nobble the camera in a boatyard in Blyth, Northumberland.

Two men broke into the Factory Point premises between 4.20am and 4.30am on June 19 and stole a dinghy which was later dumped across the River Blyth on the Cambois side.
