A social media broadcast to find the man who tried to break into a vehicle in the Chronicle carpark has led to a conviction.
At about 7am on Tuesday October 17, a man was captured on the Chronicle's CCTV cameras smashing the right rear window of a company car.
The footage was given to the police but the culprit could not be found.
So, being a media company the Chronicle decided to appeal to the public for help - and it worked.
A Facebook user who viewed the CCTV video was able to identify the man. Police then tracked down the offender and charged him for unlawfully interfering with a motor vehicle.
