Thieves found chilling child abuse images on laptop

A SEX offender’s collection of disturbing child abuse images was uncovered - by burglars.

Richard Coverdale not only downloaded pictures of child abuse, but invented a 14-year-old character to expose himself to a shocked teenage girl over the internet.

Coverdale, 24, of Canterbury Road, Redcar, was jailed for three-and-a-half years.

Burglars sparked the investigation which brought him to justice after they stole a laptop from his house on August 19 last year.

They uncovered a more disturbing crime than their own when they found child pornography on the computer, and contacted the police.

The story never mentions what happened to the perps who stole the computer.   :thatsright:

A similar case happened in Texas last year or the year before. I guess there is some "honor among thieves".

Sorry no Honor, the thieves may have been caught in another crime and made a deal with the prosecutors that if left go they could give them something much bigger then their crime.

Oh, to be so young and so lacking in reading comprehension skills.
