Five men jailed after stealing nearly £1 million worth of cars in Coventry

Five men responsible for more than £800,000 worth of vehicle thefts in Coventry have been jailed.

Jason O'Farrell, Deacon Cumberbatch, Tyrone Henn and Kian O'Shea were convicted for their parts in the thefts earlier this month.

Now, the fifth defendant, Keegan Judge, can be named after a court order restricting his identification was named.

The five, who stole cars, motorcycles, motorhomes and luxury SUVs, boasted and bragged about their criminal activity on social media.

Officers from Coventry Local Policing Area examined hours of mobile phone footage and hundreds of pages of messages the thieves sent to one another during the course of their offending.

Now, all five have been sentenced to prison time.

Tyrone Henn, 23, of Everdon road, was jailed for 10 years and six months, with a 12 year driving ban.

Jason O'Farrell, 20, of no fixed address, was jailed for 10 years and five months, with a 14 year driving ban.

Deacon Cumberbatch, 19, of Riley Square, was jailed for six years and nine months, with a 10 year driving ban.

Keegan Judge, 18, of Nuneaton, was jailed for four years and five months, with a nine year driving ban.

Kian O'Shea, 19, of Milverton Road, was jailed for three years and nine months, with an eight year driving ban.
