A nine-member burglary gang targeted affluent homes in Nottinghamshire to steal expensive cars, which they either sold for profit or used in further break-ins. The group employed a specialized 'snap lock' technique to gain entry into homes while occupants slept. Over 15 burglaries, seven attempted burglaries, and two thefts occurred, resulting in vehicles valued at an estimated £300,000 being stolen.
A Nottinghamshire burglary gang deliberately targeted well-to-do homes to steal high-value vehicles which they sold on for profit or used in further break-ins. Nottingham Crown Court heard how the nine-strong group used what a prosecutor called a “snap lock” technique to gain entry to properties, most while occupants were asleep in bed.
“These were almost all addresses with driveways and high value vehicles stolen. There were 15 burglaries, seven attempted burglaries and two thefts. The total value of the vehicles was some £300,000." The prosecutor said there were then burglaries, attempted burglaries or thefts of cars in streets including Clumber Drive, Radcliffe; Ebenezer Street, Ilkeston; Wood View, Cotgrave and Wychwood Road, Bingham.
The defendants have pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit burglary, attempted burglary and theft.
