A thief committed a crime in order to be quickly returned to prison. The man was so desperate after his initial request to be taken back into custody was turned down that he went to a supermarket in Dundee and stole a set of bedding, before taking it into the nearby police station. Bruce Burry told police officers: “I stole that.” A court heard Burry was released on September 6 this year but he stole the very next day.
