Two ‘Honest’ Criminals Confess To £60,000 Burglary To Save Wrongly Accused Man
Two burglars have confessed to stealing £60,000 worth of beauty and hair products to save an innocent man from being wrongly accused of the crime.
Blackpool Magistrates’ Court (pictured above) heard that Michael Dehal and Stephen Monaghan handed themselves in to the police in a case of ‘honour among thieves’.
The couple from Bradford, Blackpool Gazette reports, told the court they felt the burden of guilt after a third man came into the frame for the burglary.
Kevin Walker, defending, said: ‘The defendants went to the police voluntarily and confessed, after hearing someone had been sent for trial over this matter.
‘It was a case of honour among thieves.’
The defendants have been bailed to appear at Preston Crown Court on January 27.
