Burnley magistrates have sentenced a man that was convicted of breaking into a bingo club in the town to an eight month jail sentence.
Andrew Woodrup, 29, was sentenced to 120 days imprisonment for the burglary and the magistrates also gave him a further 145 days from a suspended sentence for a previous burglary, after he broke into the Gala Bingo club on Centenary Way in the early hours of the 17th of March. Following an investigation by the neighbourhood police and the town centre CCTV operators he was recognised and arrested.
A member of the Burnley Town Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team, Sergeant Martin Storey, commented: "Woodrup's conviction is the latest custodial sentence secured against offenders who have targeted the town centre.
"We are determined to keep crime levels low and will continue to do all we can to target offenders and put them before the courts."
