Bungling burglar Derek Pallett made life easy for police - he left pictures of himself on the floor of a house he raided.

Police were soon able to recognise 21-year-old Pallett, of Cagefield Road, Rochford.

He pleaded guilty at Basildon Crown Court to three burglaries and asked for 13 other offences to be taken into account.
