Cousins Jailed

A gang of burglars have started serving their sentences for a string of burglaries that targeted elderly victims. The most disturbing element of their crimes was the callous theft of a blind woman’s white stick.

Patrick Joseph Connor of Bishop Auckland, 32, was sentenced to 6 years for his part in the crimes, which were carried out across the North East and the Midlands. His cousin, who is aged 25 and has the same name, was sentenced to 5 years.

Members of the gang would knock on doors and distract the elderly victims to gain access to their houses.
