Since then the prowler went on to commit more rapes, assaults and burglaries. Grant first came to the Metropolitan Police's attention in 1999 when a house was burgled in Orpington, Kent, the News of the World has discovered. Details of the break-in matched the modus operandi of the Night Stalker - telephone cords were cut and the house plunged into darkness.

Alternatively (thinking about the D&D vs Sec5 thread), should this be taken into consideration when sentencing?
