War veteran's disgust as teenager is locked up for burglary of his home

AS an 18-year-old, Frank Burridge was laying his life down for King and Country during the Second World War.

But today the 88-year-old spoke of his disgust at the 18-year-old who he chased after with his walking stick when the teenager broke into his property in the early hours of the morning, stealing food and sources of warmth for the pensioner.

It was the fourth time Mr Burridge's his home and garage had been raided.

Despite his infirmity, poor vision and deafness, he chased Connor Winton, 18, of Pelham Road, Immingham, who was later caught and locked up for a year.
