Police Praise Teamwork in Snaring Burglar
“Hearn’s conviction and sentencing came as a result of a joint investigation involving detectives and force intelligence analysts who were able to interpret mobile phone data,” said Detective Sergeant Andrea Brown of Nottinghamshire Police.
“Burglary is an extremely upsetting crime for the victims whose homes and businesses are targeted. This series of offences had a big impact on a number of people and thankfully we have now brought Hearn to justice.
“Tackling and reducing burglary remains a priority for the force. We work tirelessly to prevent these crimes and reassure communities we’ll put suspects before the court as swiftly as possible.”
