A tragedy that this building was not considered worthy to be saved

This guy looks like Clive Owen :-D

We've been contacted today by a relative of this man. He has lots more information about him that we look forward to seeing. He already knew he was a career criminal!

What exactly is 'Gains access by means of bodily pressure'?....does he fart his way into premises?

observerstation I understood it to mean that he forced a door with say a shoulder or boot, rather than smashing a window.

Great news that a relative has made contact who may be able to provide more details about this man's life. Life is not kind to many and it's good to try to understand why people make the choices they do. Often poverty reduces those choices and it's only with the distance of time that we can relfect with empathy - and hopefully learn from history.
