“This disgusting crime – targeting someone in their own home in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity.'
A robber who targeted the wrong man was caught after leaning on a table during the raid. James Lamb's DNA was recovered from the furniture.
He used the man's own shoelaces to tie him up at knifepoint. Lamb then searched the man’s room before leaving and taking his Mercedes. However, neighbours were able to free the man and run downstairs, at which point Lamb left the Mercedes and fled.He was later interviewed following a DNA match after officers analysed a table Lamb had leant on in the property. He was at that point being held on remand for a separate offence.
