Prolific burglar who stole items worth £1 million jailed
He stole cash, jewellery, watches, and designer items.
A prolific burglar who raided 33 properties across Surrey, Kent, Essex, and Hertfordshire has been jailed for 11 years.
Surrey Police say 24 year old Emiliano Krosi from Essex stole items worth more than £1 million.
Krosi had a very specific checklist for the homes he targeted, with the ideal home being a large, detached house in an affluent area, situated on a private road and with a large rear garden. Often these gardens also backed onto fields or golf courses to give him an extra level of privacy whilst committing his crimes.
Krosi would then commonly smash the window of the first-floor master bedroom and proceed to steal cash, jewellery, watches, or designer items.
Upon searching his phone, a large amount of evidence was uncovered including photos of stolen designer goods and ‘pins’ for locations of houses that he had already burgled or was planning to. He would also often search the value of stolen items just after he had carried out the burglary.
A number of stolen items including Rolexes, designer bags and jewellery were successfully recovered by officers.
Investigating officer, PC Katherine Stevens, said; “This was a large-scale and thorough investigation into a huge number of burglaries committed across four different counties. Krosi was extremely methodical and organised in his targeting of homes, with the sole aim to make as much money as possible off the back of other people.
“Through collaborative working with colleagues in other forces including Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire and The Metropolitan Police Service, we were able to apprehend Krosi and bring the case to court. We hope this sentence gives the victims some form of closure.”
Alfred Isufi, 49, Gerard Kalaja, 23, and Henri Osmani, 45, are wanted by police in connection to the investigation and it is believed they are no longer in the UK.
