BABY-FACED BURGLAR NABBED BY JAFFA CAKE

Sweet-toothed Reece O'Callaghan broke into the home of an elderly couple and helped himself to a pasta meal and some Jaffa cakes before making off with his loot, which included three televisions. The teenager was spotted by a neighbour and was arrested by police, but he denied being the culprit. But he was caught out after forensic experts found his middle finger imprint on the Jaffa Cake box, meaning the evidence 'literally pointed' at him, prosecutor Jason Pegg said.
