A burglar who smashed his way into a room in a shared house to steal a Playstation to sell has been given a chance by a judge to prove himself.
Gyle Buxton was caught on camera shoulder-barging open the door to the room in a shared property on Saville Street in Wakefield on May 7 last year. He was then seen emerging a short time later carrying the games console and games. The 26-year-old then sold the equipment at a Cash Convertors that same day, using an account belonging to a friend. Having put out an appeal to arrest him, police finally caught up with him at an address in Halton in Leeds on August 8, Leeds Crown Court heard.
He admitted the dwelling burglary, obstructing a police officer and two counts of failing to surrender to custody. He has 10 previous convictions for 19 offences. Mitigating, Dale Harris said having met with Buxton it was “hard to reconcile” him with the person on the police footage which he agreed was “loud, aggressive and unpleasant”. He said that Buxton had been taking course while on remand and was now back on his anti-psychotic medication.
