Criminal wrote about planned robbery in diary
A British man was found guilty of a robbery after scheduling the crime in his diary.
Jonathan Ochola (aged 21) from Essex, who had denied the charge but was later found guilty in court, noted down plans to commit the crime on the south coast, and his scribblings were used as evidence.
In the diary entry, he wrote: "Go Portsmouth robbery happens."
Detective Constable Mel Sinclair said: “When we found the diary we thought it was unusual. You don’t normally get such a good piece of evidence like that. But he was foolish enough to put it in and he said in his interview that it was stupid.”
Ochola had previously said he was at home watching TV at the time of the incident, but he was later found to be the getaway driver.
