Man sentenced for Northampton burglaries

A man has been sentenced in connection with two Northampton burglaries.

At 7.15pm on February 16, 2023, Patrick Connors, aged 33, of Northampton, alongside another man, used a crowbar to break into a property in Main Road, Northampton, and once inside, stole cash, trainers and jewellery.

The two men then made their way to another property in Longacres, Northampton, at about 8.25pm, and broke into that one too by smashing through the conservatory window, stealing cash, bank cards and stamps.

An investigation into both break-ins was launched with Connors quickly being identified as one of the suspects and arrested.

He was subsequently charged with two counts of burglary. 

After pleading guilty to the charges, Connors appeared at Northampton Crown Court on August 8 where he was sentenced to one year in prison.

Daniel Doran, aged 31, of Blenheim Walk, Northampton, who also pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, was sentenced earlier this year (April 9) to two years in prison, suspended for two years.

Lead investigator Police Constable Becca Tomalin said: “Here at Northamptonshire Police, we know how violating being a victim of burglary can be, so it’s great news that we have brought another two burglars to justice.

“We will continue working hard to tackle burglary - to prevent and detect offences and put more people like Connors behind bars.”
