Burglary Scumbag Slapped with Jail Time in Reading

Christopher Coleman, 24, from Sycamore Road, London, has been locked up for a nasty burglary in Reading. The crook pleaded guilty to breaking into a home in Brooklyn Drive, Emmer 1, back on 7 May 2019.

Two Years and Five Months Behind Bars

At Reading Crown Court on Thursday (11/7), Coleman was sentenced to two years and five months in prison. Police found stolen goods in the car he was driving and arrested him shortly after.

Police Hit Back Hard on Burglary

“Thames Valley Police will robustly investigate all reports of burglary,” said Detective Constable Alan Pearcy from Reading police station. “I hope this sentence acts as a deterrent to those thinking of committing such an offence. Your actions could result in a prison sentence.”

He also thanked the victim and witnesses for their crucial support in bringing Coleman to justice.
