'Callous' burglars jailed after they 'ransacked' Grimsby home of valuables
TWO "callous" burglars – one of which was high on a cocktail of M-cat and diazepam – have been locked up after they "ransacked" a man's home and "stripped" it of anything valuable.
They were both caught "practically red-handed" as they tried to flee from the back garden after the raid, a court heard.

Locked up: Aydn Faulder, left, and Nathan Webster, right, admitted burglary on August 7.
Nathan Webster, 19, of Carnforth Crescent, Grimsby, and Aydn Faulder, 20, of Milton Road, Grimsby, admitted burglary on August 7.

Two rear windows had been forced at the premises in Chester Walk, Grimsby, and every room had been searched. Clothes had been thrown out of a window and were strewn across the back garden.
A 42in television, games consoles and equipment, a mountain bike, a remote control, a bottle of aftershave and two mobile phones had been stolen.
Both intruders tried to escape from the garden and a police officer tried to grab one of them. Faulder hurled a can of aerosol towards an officer, but he was chased and wrestled to the ground.
He had been taking diazepam and M-cat – adding yet more weight to the Grimsby Telegraph's campaign to highlight the dangers of the illegal drug, and the adverse psychological effects it can have on users.
Webster was detained in Digby Gardens. All the stolen property was recovered.
Judge David Tremberg told the pair: "You two worked as a team to force entry to the complainant's home. Once inside, it was ransacked.
"You showed callous contempt for his home, his property and his privacy. You acted as a team to strip the property of all items of value you could find, both big and small.
"You were caught practically red-handed. Your intention was to strip this man of practically everything that he owned."
Richard Hackfath, mitigating, said high value items were stolen during an untidy search but the burglars were not "organised criminals". A large number of diazepam tablets were found on Webster.
He had been in custody for 32 days and was already serving a custodial sentence. He started using diazepam after "hanging around" with old associates.
Craig Lowe, representing Faulder, said all the stolen items were recovered. Faulder made very early admissions, showed remorse and had spent 105 days in custody.
"Alcohol, in addition to drugs, played a big part in this offence," said Mr Lowe.
Webster, who also admitted possessing diazepam, was locked up for two years and three months.
Faulder, who had previously been given an anti-social behaviour order, was given 22 months' custody.

“Well sorry to hear that project x , you can only do your best for your kids, try to help, and guide them, but ultimately, they are their own persons, you can't live their lives for them, at 20, he knows what's right and wrong, probably did for a long time, but he's not you, and you arnt accountable for his actions. Respect for your bravery, and honesty coming on here and saying that, ignore the daft people, you are not to lame for his actions !”

"we have spent probably the best part of 5 or 6 years trying to steer him down the right path"
Too late by then he was already 15 years old, you should of been doing that from birth.
and as you say" steering him down the right path" then i assume he was already showing signs of turning into the wonderful person he is today.”

“well the big daft one on the left is my son...and i agree he's supposed to be a man and get himself a job! what i dont agree of is when a comment regarding parenting comes up and believe me this boys had everything and years of help from his parents, step parents and grandparents. we have spent probably the best part of five or six years trying to steer him down the right path, so no I dont see his parents to blame.This boy had everything and a good up bringing but he chose his own path, the sad thing is hes quite a brainy kid but alcohol and drugs pulled him away from his family, he was at college doing a plumbing course but the streets obviously won. i never had him down for a burlgar and im disgusted in what hes done. hes 20yr old and a man who can make his own choices in life.”
