The man who had two screwdrivers in his underpants
WHEN police searched a suspect, they found he had two screwdrivers in his underpants, a court heard. Both had blue handles, Calderdale magistrates were told.
The alarm had been raised after Richard David Bull, 32, of Grove Park, Ovenden, Halifax, was seen by a witness climbing out of a window at disused premises at Holmfield, Halifax. Police arrived and found Bull with his head inside a fridge-freezer.
He told them he was looking for scrap metal. He was arrested.
Andy Wills, prosecuting, said: "When searched, two blue-handled screwdrivers were found in his boxer shorts."
Bull admitted going equipped for burglary.
Keiron Green, for Bull, said: "He was looking for scraps of metal to supplement his benefits."
Bull was given a 12-month community order with supervision.
