A man has been jailed for six years for a series of burglaries at properties in Brighton and Hove.
Billy Hall, 50, of North Road, Brighton, appeared at Lewes Crown Court on 14 October after pleading guilty to committing burglary at a home in Dyke Road, two at homes in Highcroft Villas, Brighton, and in Chalfont Drive, Hove, as well as targeting a business in Stanford Avenue, Brighton.
These offences occurred from April to August this year.
The court heard that Hall broke into flats, a house and business during the night, often when the occupants were asleep.
He stole thousands of pounds worth of cash, jewellery, laptops, a mobile phone and a bank card.
Hall was sentenced to a six-year custodial sentence.
Detective Constable Grace Boyle said:
“Burglary is a very serious offence, and we are pleased that the defendant has received a sentence which reflects this and will make a difference in preventing further victims suffering the traumatic experience of having their home burgled by this repeat offender.”
