Two men with the same name who paired up for a 10-day crime spree in England have been jailed. There’s Bernie McDonagh, 56, of Romford, and then there’s Bernie McDonagh, 35, of Coventry. During 10 days in August, the two men with the same name traveled around Warwickshire, England in a black Lexus, targeting homes and stealing items including a TV, jewelry, and a yellow floral pillow case. The men were caught on security cameras multiple time driving in the Lexus up to a home that they then burglarized. The older Bernie McDonagh was sentenced to four years, nine months. The younger Bernie McDonagh was sentenced to two years in prison.
* Odd that they not only have the same name, but the same hobby.
* Did they use the yellow floral pillow case to carry the stolen jewelry, or was it just a really adorable pillow case?
* “Hi, I’m Larry, this is my brother Bernie, and this is my other brother Bernie.”
* At least it made the job easier for whoever filled out the arrest report. Fill it in once and duplicate it.
