A judge tells a burglar he is “not very good at this” after a botched break-in at a home in London’s Belgravia district. The defendant, Glen Banks, 57, attempts to enter a two-bedroom house by climbing through a window, but he is spotted by someone and flees the scene. During the incident, he leaves items behind that investigators can link to him. Reports say he also leaves a passport photograph of himself at the scene, along with a jacket that carries his DNA. The details described across coverage portray an unsuccessful entry and a rapid escape, with evidence left that undermines the attempt to avoid identification. The judge’s remarks reflect the circumstances that investigators believe made the break-in easier to connect to Banks. The case is presented in connection with a property described as worth about £4 million, and the sentencing or court outcome is referenced through the judge’s comments.
