A night-time burglar who ransacked a building at the University of Bradford and went on to raid a mosque while on police bail has been spared an immediate jail sentence.
Mohammed Shaidur Rahman did £3,000 damage at the university’s Norcroft Centre for Chemical and Biological Analysis before he was caught red-handed making off with £5,000 of equipment, including microscopes and a digital camera.
Rahman, 30, of Spring Gardens, Manningham, Bradford, was arrested and released under investigation only to strike again a fortnight later at the Madinatul Uloom & Islamic Centre.
He broke into the centre, in Nesfield Street, Manningham, and was arrested in possession of a safe containing £650 in cash.
