A SERIAL car criminal spent his 21st birthday in custody.

Jake Hall was jailed for 20 months after being arrested for driving a stolen silver Volkswagen Polo in London Road, Brighton on February 20.

Hall, of Mason Road, Crawley, also admitted driving while disqualified and driving without insurance.

The father, who has been behind bars for the majority of his baby’s life so far, was previously serving time in a young offenders institution for his part in the Whitehawk boys gang who stole cars and burgled homes to the value of £200,000 last year.
