A burglar who stole more than £20,000 worth of watches and jewellery from a home in Poole has been jailed.

Shaun Greening broke into a house on Lake Avenue in Hamworthy on August 30th 2022.

Officers who carried out a forensic examination of the scene secured evidence that linked Greening to the offence.

The 47 year old of no fixed address was jailed for three years and four months.

He was also given a further 16 months, after admitting further burglaries in Sussex and South Wales.

Detective Constable Christian Bryant, of Dorset Police’s Priority Crime Team, said:

“We recognise the significant impact dwelling burglaries have on victims and we will strive to secure all possible evidence to identify offenders and bring them to justice.

“In this case we were able to use forensic evidence to link the defendant to the scene and ensure he was held accountable for his offending.”
