A local man has been jailed for 14 weeks today after breaking into a city centre bakery.

Christian Baglietto, 44, of Glacis Estate, pleaded guilty to one count of Burglary at the Piece of Cake Bakery and was sentenced at the Magistrates’ Court this morning.

His arrest came after he was caught on CCTV breaking into the bakery on Engineer Lane just before 2am last Thursday (20 October).

Once inside, he forced entry to a cash register using a screwdriver, causing damage, before stealing approximately £50.

At 9am that morning, staff reported the burglary to police and detectives identified Baglietto on CCTV footage.

Just before 6pm that same day, detectives attended a residence on Prince Edward’s Road and arrested Baglietto for the burglary.
