A Bradford burglar who went on the run for ten years has been jailed for 18 months after handing himself in at Otley Police Station.
Ryan O’Gorman, 37, of no fixed address, jumped court bail in August 2003 while awaiting sentence for breaking into a house in Sewell Street, Laisterdyke.
He was brought in custody to Bradford Crown Court yesterday and sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment for burglary and six months on top for breach of bail.
O’Gorman’s barrister, Camille Morland, said he had been travelling between West Yorkshire and Ireland for a decade and had committed no further offences.
