Would-be Sainsbury's robber identified by distinctive facial tattoo
A MAN who was released from prison found himself back behind bars just hours later when he attempted to rob a shop.
Kelvin Porter walked away from Durham Prison on the morning of April 24 but soon found himself on the wrong side of the law after demanding cash from a staff member at the Sainsburys store on Duke Street, Darlington.
Teesside Crown Court heard how Porter told police that he knew he would be caught because of his distinctive tattoos around his left eye.
The 42-year-old, of no fixed abode, was jailed for 20 months after he pleaded guilty to attempted robbery.
