SMASH AND GRAB: Lanarkshire Thug Digs Down to Steal β€” Ends Up Diggin' His Own Grave

Bruv, this one's a real mad ting. Dylan Hay, 31, cut through the floor of an empty flat in Motherwell to break into the shop below. Β£1500 in cash and some cigs later, he was bangin' up after the feds spotted him on CCTV.

Sheriff John Hamilton KC laid it down straight: 'This was a serious commercial break-in, significantly sophisticated in its own way.' Hay's lawyer tried to play the sympathy card, but with 30 previous convictions, the court wasn't buyin' it. Two years inside, and that's the end of that job.
