A one-armed burglar was sent to prison after a court heard he had been stealing from people’s homes in Swansea for 35 years.And people say the Welsh have no work ethic!
Leave your ‘Oh, he’s ‘armless really’ jokes in the comment box…
Ian Wright, for Coles, told the court: “The primary mitigation here is the guilty plea. ”Not really, although I suppose it saves them the trouble of setting up an identity parade, which I'd think might be a bit tricky…

His friends, they not nice like him.
He looks more like 56 than 46...
This has got to be in with a shout for "plea in mitigation of the year".
The sheer artistry in re-setting an obvious fact as if it were a brilliant new diamond deserves recognition.
One-armed bandit?
Google "core Labour vote" and the glorious visage of Gerald Coles should greet you.
He's aging like milk.
How did they handcuff him?
Just asked the Mrs who used to be a prison escort.
It seems if the felon is being nice they attach the spare cuff to a belt loop. If he, or worse she, is not behaving they are cuffed wrist to ankle.
*resists obvious pun opportunity*
"He looks more like 56 than 46..."
I've got an even better one coming up. You'll need a thin film of something over the monitor to view it with.
Or you might want to gaze on its reflection in a polished shield, for safety's sake...
"This has got to be in with a shout for "plea in mitigation of the year". "
It's a hotly-contested field.
"How did they handcuff him?"
*spits cornflakes over keyboard*
You know, there's probably a whole section of the restraint handbook devoted to this issue...

Give Jiks a big....errr, hand, folks!
To be fair this crim saves the police a lot of work.Only takes half the time to fingerprint him.
I had a regular crim with one arm in my shopping centre.His nick-name was "Arfur" which I didn't understand at first.His mate explained that he could only give "Arfur" a cuddle!
