A BURGLAR who committed a host of offences around the Lake District nearly three years ago is wanted after breaching conditions of his prison release licence.

Bradley Higham, 43, is wanted on a recall to prison.

Merseyside Police say Higham, of Newton-le-Willows, breached the conditions of his licence after his release from a prison sentence for burglary in Cumbria in 2018.

Higham is white, 6ft, of proportionate build, with brown eyes, receding brown hair and a birth mark on his left cheek.

He has links to Newton-le-Willows, Blackpool, Cumbria and North Wales.

The Star's sister title, the Westmorland Gazette previously reported how the burglar broke into a Japanese tourist couple’s hotel room during a two-day Lake District crime spree.‬

Higham, committed a host of offences on October 8 and 9 in 2018 around both Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere.

Higham burgled an unoccupied room at the Bellsfield Hotel in Bowness just after Japanese husband-and-wife tourists had checked in.

Higham also sneaked into two Windermere guest houses, stealing cash from one which he handed back to a staff member who caught him in the act and, at the other, charged bottles of Budweiser he consumed in a lounge to one of the rooms.

A day later, he moved a CCTV camera inside Windermere Library to mask the fact he was forcing opening a charity box before stealing £30.

Higham, of Laurel Avenue, Newton-le-Willows, was sentenced after admitting three counts of burglary, and also fraud, theft and going equipped.

The court was told he had 150-offences to his name.
