A wheelchair-bound looter - caught on CCTV with a huge flatscreen television snatched from a shop in South-East London during the capital's week of rioting - has been jailed.
David Christopher Knott, 18, of Bromhedge, Eltham, was recovering from a broken leg when he decided to join in the mad frenzy for high-value electrical goods along with the rest of the mob.
He pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court to handling the stolen ALBA television, stolen from Argos, Powis Street, Woolwich.
CCTV footage showed Knott waiting in his wheelchair outside the warehouse store for an accomplice who places the television in his lap and wheels him away.
Knott was sentenced to twelve months custody.
