News about Johnny Weissmuller

A prolific burglar was discovered with the book 'Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief' after bungling a raid by leaving his DNA on the scene and allowing his face to be caught on CCTV. Peter O'Halloran, 49, carried out a string of home invasions in five counties over three years, looing hundreds of thousands of pounds in cash, gemstones, and other valuables. An estimated £700,000 worth of designer watches, jewelry, and other family heirlooms from an elderly Northamptonshire couple in 2019 were included on BBC Crimewatch's Crimewatch show. Although they were out of town and spent hours in their house before deciding to flee, O'Halloran escaped by using their security systems. He was on the loose until he fell out by leaving his DNA on a ladder that was used to break into a house in Guilden Morden, Cambridgeshire, in March last year. He was caught on CCTV sneaking around the property's boundary, peering through glass before entering and taking jewelry and watches.
