A SNEAK burglar who crept into a doctor's home after the door was left unlocked for workers, was yesterday locked up for two years.
Steven Gill, 20, took a watch and £20 in cash from the house in Westoe Village, South Shields, South Tyneside.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that after he was linked to the raid by fingerprints and he later confessed 11 further burglaries to the police.
Gill, of St Oswalds Street, Hartlepool, admitted burglary and was sentenced to two years in a young offenders' institution.
