Daniel Shrimpton, aged 37 and from Birmingham, admitted two counts of burglary and asked for a further seven burglaries to be taken into consideration.

The court heard that Shrimpton had been linked to four burglaries in Lichfield, Abbots Bromley, Colton and Barton-under-Needwood where items including cash and jewellery were stolen.

He was handed a four-year and four-month sentence at Worcester Crown Court.

Detective Constable Grant Dixon, from Staffordshire Police, said:

> “You cannot measure the distress that victims suffer after they find their home has been burgled – they not only face the cost of replacing any items stolen, and for repairs, but they also go through the devastation of feeling like their home has been intruded.  
>  
> “We are pleased that Shrimpton is facing the consequences of these crimes and hope that it will offer some closure to those affected.”
