A serial burglar is back behind bars for overnight raids on two houses.

Matthew Thain broke into two properties in Ashington while the owners, who were in their 70s, were in bed and stole belongings, including bank cards.

Newcastle Crown Court heard he took out £650 cash using the cards stolen during the first raid, on July 11.
