And finally…bungled jewels heist is no picnic

Qasim Hussain, 28, Hassan Mahmood, 26, and Naheem Hussain, 27, have been given hefty jail sentences for the theft of sandwiches, Tupperware and assorted groceries, The Independent reports.

The trio attacked the husband-and-wife owners of a jewellery store in Leeds before taking their hold-alls and bolting.

But the thieves - who went to the extent of arranging a get-away car - found that the bags did not contain any jewellery.

They were later caught when DNA was recovered from balaclavas inside the burnt-out car and were brought before Leeds Crown Court.

Judge Tom Bayliss QC told them: “It was a professionally planned, commercial robbery carried out with a degree of sophistication, but ultimately gaining you nothing but your convictions.”

Hussain and Mohmood were jailed for nine years and Hussain for three.
