Machine Mart by Google Maps A BURGLAR who broke into a DIY store twice in the space of four days and stole more than £1,000 of tools has been spared prison. Anthony McDonnell burgled the Machine Mart on Hawleys Lane in Dallam on October 9 last year and took DeWalt tools valued at £443.99 from inside. On October 13, he returned to the same shop and took another £646.79 of goods.

McDonnell admitted two counts of burglary and was handed a 24-week imprisonment suspended for two years at Warrington Magistrates Court on Thursday, January 7.
