    Prison? For this?

    Just take it away and warn him. How did no one along the way protest the heavy handedness of this?

      I agree with your point seeing as how the article dosen’t have this info, but the context that He’s a known burglar, has done at least 4 years in prison and ‘but it’s just a novelty item’ has been a tactic of criminals in England for a long time, it makes more sense why he was busted.

          It’s sharp metal, 6in. So roughly hand size, it’s more like a custom figurine type of deal.
