Two burglars have been caught out by their own tools following a break in in Addlestone.
Officers
were called to Hampshire Court in January last year following reports of two
suspicious men.
When
officers apprehended them, two screwdrivers were discovered near their feet
which they denied all knowledge of.
However,
house to house enquiries and CCTV footage showed them attempting to break into
two houses on the street.
33
year old Gheorghe Serban from Addlestone has been jailed for 34 months and
ordered to pay a victim surcharge.
His
brother-in-law, 43 year old Iulian Toma from Sussex, was sentenced to 21 months
suspended for two years.
Forensics
on the screwdrivers, had also revealed the screwdrivers had been directly
handled by Serban.
Body
worn footage translated from Romanian to English also showed that Serban had
said to Toma ‘Did you throw that thing away?’
