    ‘Scourge’ of Manchester city centre given one last chance

    By News X @sunriseradiouk

    A man described in court as the “scourge” of Manchester city centre has been given one last chance by a judge.

    Michael Conway-Williams, who has 59 criminal convictions for 174 separate offences, pleaded guilty to further burglaries at Manchester Crown Court.

    The 39-year-old faced a minimum jail sentence of three years under the so-called ‘three strikes’ legislation for persistent offenders.

    But the court heard Conway-Williams had a ‘narcotics blocker’ implanted in his upper arm to nullify the effects of opiates and had been offered a room at supported accommodation in north Manchester which offers a substance misuse recovery programme for drug or alcohol addicts.

    The judge told Mr Conway-Williams that if he breaches the zero-tolerance drugs policy of the programme he would face “a significant prison sentence”.
