Dundee thieves jailed after posting pictures of stolen haul on Facebook
ByGraeme Ogston
Solicitor Jim Lavertys pictures of Kevin ODonnell and John McGrandle, posted on Facebook, were fairly compelling evidence of their involvement.
A pair of brazen Dundee crooks were caught by police after taking pictures of themselves with their criminal haul.
After stealing almost £4,000 worth of alcohol, Kevin O’Donnell and John McGrandle posed for snaps which they then posted on social media.
Meanwhile, McGrandle stole a BMW and parked it up in front of a restaurant before going for a meal all in full view of CCTV cameras.
Solicitor Jim Laverty admitted the bungling pair had slipped up by posting their pictures online, saying: “The police used the Facebook entry as fairly compelling evidence of their involvement.”
Both men were jailed after appearing at Dundee Sheriff Court.
