Three sentenced to over 11-years in prison for series of Shropshire burglaries
Three men appeared at Shrewsbury Crown Court on Friday 17 June and were sentenced to a combined total of eleven-and-a-half- years in prison.
The three men all pleaded guilty to burglary.
Steven James Storey, 34, of Burford, Telford received four years and three months.
Gary Michael Turner, 28, of no fixed abode was sentenced to two years and eleven months.
Karl William Jones, 26, of Swansmede Way, Stirchley was handed a three and a half year sentence.
The three committed a number of burglaries across Telford and Shropshire between 28 March 2015 and 10 July 2015.
A number of residential areas were hit including addresses in Ironbridge, St Georges, Wrockwardine Wood, Shrewsbury, Donnington Wood, Bridgnorth, Ludlow, Claverley and Shifnal.
The spree came to an end on Friday 10 July 2015 at The Nabb, St Georges, Telford. On that Friday the men were arrested after a police operation during which high value goods were recovered and the three were charged with burglary.
Detective Sergeant Andrew Chatting, who led the investigation, said: "I hope the sentences that these three received go some way to reassure the public that we do take domestic burglaries seriously. Burglaries can have a huge emotional impact on victims. We will always work to bring those responsible before the courts."
