Nicholas Jackson has 46 convictions for 101 offences including 22 burglaries
A prolific burglar and thief from Nottingham is back behind bars for breaking into the same pub twice in two weeks to steal booze. Nottingham Crown Court heard how Nicholas Jackson also carried out two thefts in Clifton when he was at large having failed to turn up for court to face trial for earlier targeting the West Bridgford boozer.
“Then, when you were required to come to your trial, you dropped off the grid to the point that even your solicitors did not know where you were for a considerable period of time. So the delay is not the fault of the system, as it so often is these days, but yours. The prosecutor said on the second occasion a night warden at a nearby hospital chased Jackson who dropped the bag as he scaled a fence in a bid to escape and which contained his DNA. He said: “On both occasions, glass was smashed as the point of entry and the total value of what was stolen and the cost to replace the glass was precisely £2,999.
