Dumbest criminals: Burglar leaves name at scene of crime

A burglar has been caught out after leaving his name at the scene of the crime. Daryl Lewis was caught at Ferndale Lodge in St Marychurch, Torquay, but dropped his wallet, which contained his name and address, and he was even photographed leaving the establishment by a passerby. Judge Francis Gilbert QC told him: "You stole a wedding and engagement ring from an 85-year-old widow which caused her immense upset and distress because they had been given to her by her late husband." As a result, Lewis has now been jailed for 30 months at Exeter Crown Court after admitting two counts of burglary.
