Ahmed, of no fixed abode, emerged and a struggle ensued with several of the student residents during which he lost one of his false teeth.Det Sgt Franco Guddemi, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Committing another burglary while still having prison release documents in his bag shows the sort of prolific, career criminal we are dealing with.
