Jail for man involved in post-box burglaries
He was arrested in November.
A man who stole post from a block of flats in Woking including bank cards has been jailed for four years and nine months.
51 year old Vassim Aslam from Haringey was jailed for fraud and burglary offences in Surrey and London.
Aslam pleaded guilty to 12 counts of burglary, one count of perverting the course of justice and one count of going equipped.
Residents at a block of flats in Woking recognised that their letters were going missing between May and October last year.
Investigating officer PC Iona King said: “We are aware the impact burglaries and fraud can have one our communities and we will continue to be robust in our approach to tackling such criminality.
“The team worked really hard to secure the evidence required to prove Vassim Aslam’s criminality not just in Surrey, but also London, and ensure he was brought to justice.
“Particular mention must go to PC Tom Hinch for his role in driving this investigation and identifying the scale of Mr Aslan’s offending.
“We would also like to thank the members of the public who provided information about Aslam’s offending – we would not have been able to put our case together without it.”
