Female burglar with no remorse sticks tongue out in 'cheeky' mugshot

A brazen burglar who poked out her tongue in a police mugshot has now been jailed for her crimes.

Shameless Cleo O'Donnell, 22, appeared carefree after being being taken into custody in Worcester.

The criminal broke into a house with accomplice Anthony Hannay and were both armed with weapons.

Now the pair are back behind bars after being jailed for their latest crime last month.

Police quickly established who the suspects were and arrested O'Donnell and Hannay shortly afterwards.

Enquiries later revealed that a second aggravated burglary had taken place where the occupant sustained an injury.

O’Donnell and Hannay, 34, both pleaded guilty to two charges of aggravated burglary and one charge of false imprisonment.

They were remanded in custody and were sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on February 9.

O'Donnell received a seven-year jail term, while Hannay was jailed for eight years.

It is not the first O'Donnell has made headlines.

In June last year, she was named by cops as she was wanted for recall to prison while awaiting sentencing for stealing a car.

She was facing a prison term in November 2019 after pleading guilty to taking a car without the owner’s consent, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence and driving without insurance.

The court heard how O'Donnell, who was pregnant at the time, had a long history of drug and alcohol misuse.

Her lawyers at the time argued that O'Donnell was the victim of domestic violence.

Last February, Anthony Hannay, also went on the run - but was eventually found hiding in the attic of a house in Worcester.

Whilst on the run, Hannay appeared to be taunting officers by posting comments on the Facebook appeals West Mercia Police was making in their bid to find him.

Someone using his name goaded them, with comments like: "Catch me if you can" and "Just cooking my steak so come after".
