Council take home from Hemel criminal
Mr Paul Whetter, previously of 78 Lime Walk, Hemel Hempstead, committed burglary near his then-home in March 2015. The stolen property was later found at his address.
The council and police then received reports of anti-social behaviour and raised his home, finding Class A drugs.
