THE final member of a gang that burgled homes in areas such as Abbots Bromley, Barton-under-Needwood and Kings Bromley has been jailed for a decade.
Endrit Nikolli, 28 and of Walsall, was sentenced to ten years behind bars at Chester Crown Court yesterday (29th April) after he admitted conspiracy to commit burglary with intent to steal at an earlier hearing.
Other members of the gang behind at least 44 burglaries across the country were sentenced earlier this month.
It is believed they took more than £1million of goods in total.
Detective Constable Grant Dixon said:
“This result has been achieved through the tireless efforts of many officers and staff in police forces around the country.
“Burglary is a crime that we know is a key priority for our local communities. People want to see robust action to stop prolific thieves, and this is an example of that ongoing commitment.
“We know the actions of this group have left a profound impact on the many victims. We don’t underestimate the impact of their offending and we’re pleased that a substantial prison term has been granted to make sure these people are stopped in their tracks.
“I’d like to assure communities in Staffordshire that we are working extremely hard, night and day, to take swift and decisive action against those committing these offences.”
