Police investigative work including recovery of vehicles and extensive CCTV trawls has led to three burglars being jailed for a total of more than 13 years.

Their crimes, which were committed at people’s homes as well as business premises, involved vehicles, electricals, cash and jewellery being stolen.

Today (Thursday), at Leicester Crown Court, Le Butt Seal was jailed for five years and three months. The 29-year-old, of Lobbs Wood Court, Leicester, had pleaded guilty to seven counts of burglary in addition to one count of theft, one count of criminal damage and one count of driving while disqualified.

In addition Slaney pleaded guilty to:

  • Burglary at a property in Cordery Road, Leicester, on 1 June. A television and personal belongings were stolen
  • Theft from a motor vehicle on 30 May. Cash and bank cards were stolen.

Hancock pleaded guilty to the burglary at a property in Cordery Road on 1 June and to the burglary at a premises in Front Street, Birstall, on 14 June.

 

Detective Constable Damian Young said: “The defendants had no regard for anyone as they committed these offences and were only concerned about what they could gain and evading the police. Their acts caused sadness and stress for many residents and workers across the county as well as others in the communities affected. I thank these residents and workers for their co-operation with us throughout this investigation as we remained determined to find those responsible.

“Proving these offences and getting charges authorised has involved a lot of hard work, dedication and thorough investigative work from across the whole team but it was as a result of this that Le Butt Seal, Slaney and Hancock were forced to admit their crimes and must now face the consequences.”
