A burglar who received a second chance from a court judge, allowing her to walk free, stole cash from a woman in her 60s just three days later.
Melanie Askew, 41, was handed a suspended sentence on September 16 last year after admitting two burglaries in High Barns, Ely, in June 2020.
Three days later she walked into a home in the same road through an unlocked front door.
