Bungling burglar jailed after posting selfie

another case of guess the race ... ?














Burglar Ashley Keast put himself in the frame after he accidentally posted this "selfie" - to friends of his victim.
 The 25-year old had celebrated the burglary by placing his SIM card inside a mobile phone stolen from the property before taking photos of himself
 But in doing so Mr Keast unknowingly sent out the image using the WhatsApp messenger service which had been previously downloaded onto the phone by the owner.
 Friends of the victim who were connected to the service were surprised to spot the picture appear on their own phones and passed it onto police.
 Officers then recognised Mr Keast, from Rotherham, South Yorks and arrested him the following day.
At Sheffield Crown Court, Mr Keast admitted burglary and jailed for two years and eight months.
 Mr Keast and an accomplice carried out the burglary at a house in the Brinsworth area of Rotherham while the occupants were on holiday.
 The householders returned days later to find the rear patio door had been forced and that electrical items, sentimental jewellery and an Audi A4, together worth around £27,000, had been stolen.
 The car was found crashed and extensively damaged a short time afterwards.
Inquiries revealed on the night of the offence the culprits had borrowed a friend's car to apparently buy cigarettes but instead committed the burglary.
Two days later Mr Keast used his SIM card inside the stolen phone to take his selfie which he then posted onto his Facebook page getting four likes - not realising it was being sent out on the 'whats app' messenger application.
 After police recognised Mr Keast's image a stolen Rolex watch worth £4,000 was found behind a radiator at his flat and returned to the victim.
 Mr Keast's accomplice Anthony Hunt, 27, was jailed for 18 months for burglary.
PC Adam Broughton, of South Yorkshire Police, said: "Burglaries cause victims a great deal of pain and suffering and in this case many items of sentimental value can never be replaced.
 "The result of this case should act as a deterrent to would-be offenders who should think twice about committing such offences."
