A WINDOW cleaner has admitted abusing his job to burgal homes.

David Dunigan, 25, became one of Essex’s most wanted after committing a spate of break-ins between August 22 and September 19.

He was finally arrested after his legs were spotted hanging out of a small window at a home in Churchill Way, Colchester, on Wednesday.

He admitted four offences, and asked for three more to be taken into consideration, at Chelmsford Magistrates Court on Friday.

He was released on conditional bail with a 7pm to 7am curfew and banned from any job involving knocking on doors.

He will be sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court on November 1.

Karen Riley, 41, who a council tenant in the flat where he was arrested said the attempted burglary has left her paranoid for her safety.
