Prison sentence for Kettering burglar

A 35-year-old man has been sent to prison after pleading guilty to burglary and driving offences which took place in Kettering earlier this year.

In the early hours of June 8, Jared John Patrick Wright broke into a house in Speight Crescent and stole a white Citroen van, proceeding to drive it out of Kettering dangerously at high speeds and off-road through the woods and bollards.

He eventually stopped when he reached Harlech in Corby where he decamped and ran off. He was caught a short time later by officers on foot and arrested.

At Northampton Crown Court last week (November 29), he pleaded guilty to burglary, an attempted burglary on the same night in Thurston Drive, Kettering, dangerous driving, and driving whilst disqualified. He was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison. 

Lead Investigator – DC Martin Green, said: “I am pleased that a prolific burglar like Jared Wright has been sent to prison and is off the streets of Northamptonshire.

“Putting burglars away is something we remain determined to do at Northamptonshire Police and we will continue working hard to do just that, therefore making this county a safer place to live.”
