"Who said drugs aren’t linked to crime? Here is what one heroin addict stole during 55 burglaries carried out in just three months to fund his drug problem: 24 laptop and desktop computers, more than 13 watches, 25 cameras, 5 mobile phones, 4 televisions, 5 stereos, 3 DVD players, 2 video recorders, 3 computer game consoles, 2 cars, dozens of items of jewellery, thousands of dollars in cash, credit cards, passports, CDs, computer games, DVDs, clothes, bedding, a skateboard and a chainsaw. All that added to $483,988 in cash and goods – an average $5318 a day during his 91-day one man crime spree. And at the end of it all the burglar, who was on parole after serviving a jail sentence for earlier theft and burglary charges, stole a pistol off a detective trying to arrest him, led police or a chase through crowded city streets, hijacked a taxi and fired a shot in a crowded road."
