Most of the victims were asleep at home when their properties were broken into
A burglary gang which broke into properties in Nottinghamshire and beyond to steal £300,000 of high-value cars has been jailed for a combined total of more than 35 years.
“You had knives, you had masks, you had all the equipment to snap locks to get in. It was also about helping yourselves to other people's property. “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."
He said the next break-in was at Highcroft, Mapperley, where a £25,000 Mercedes e-class was taken and driven to Barnsley and the householder's dog was locked outside. They are: Cameron Mickle, 27, of Hoe View Road, Cropwell Bishop. Lauren Fisher, his barrister, said her client was only involved in one of the burglaries and has been waiting for more than four years to find out his fate since he was arrested in December 2020. He was jailed for two years and eight months.
