Hannan burgled a house on Plungington Road on Thursday, May 2, before striking again on Sunday, May 19, when he climbed through an unlocked window at the home of a young family on Linton Street.

He stole a PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch from Plungington Road, and £40 in cash from a kitchen cabinet in Linton Street.

PC Sam Patel said: “South Burglary Team will not tolerate burglaries being committed in their local community and will do their utmost best to identify those responsible.

"These were despicable crimes and we hope Hannan’s sentence provides some justice to the victims.”
