One of the men had previously been jailed for finding and stealing Noah Donohoe's schoolbag
Three Belfast men with over 470 convictions between them were jailed on Thursday for a series of burglaries.
Passing sentence at Belfast Crown Court, Judge Desmond Marrinan warned the trio that if they breached the terms of their release conditions they would be recalled to prison to serve out the licence part of their sentence. On September 2, 2021, the owner of a house at Marlborough Park Central, Belfast woke at 6.30 am to discover her home had been burgled and a wallet, house keys and a Mercedes CLS car were missing."CCTV footage from the property showed a male, identified as Robert Halpin, who was missing a lower limb and was travelling on a mobility scooter, in the front garden,'' said Mr Purvis.
The following day, he burgled a Tesco store on Belfast's Lisburn Road and made off with £600 worth of whiskey. Paul was identified from a store camera by a distinctive tattoo on his right calf. William Paul has 189 previous convictions including 20 for theft, four offences of burglary, one for robbery along with entries for hijacking, fraud and going equipped for theft.
