Prolific criminal jailed after Wembley burglary

Posted by David Tilley on Jan 16, 09 10:07 AM in Crime

A prolific criminal who was caught burgling a house in Wembley by its shocked owner has been thrown in jail for more than a year.

Homeless Trevor Morgan, 42, was rumbled when the woman returned to her home in Oakington Avenue, Wembley, to find him filling a bag with her valuables.

The thief told the resident he was looking for someone called Michael and then left carrying the swag bag.

He was later arrested after being chased by police and was sentenced to 16 months behind bars at Harrow Crown Court on January 7.

PC Gerry Sim, from Brent Priority Crime Unit, said: "Morgan is a prolific burglar who was chased and detained minutes after committing this offence with the stolen property.

"The victim, although shaken up, was delighted to have her property restored to her hours later.

"We will continue to target offenders like Morgan with the intention of reducing the offence of burglary in the borough."
