Michael Gilhaney Jailed for Brutal Burglary Spree Armed with Machete

Michael Gilhaney from Thorn End, Northampton, has been slammed with a heavy prison sentence at Aylesbury Crown Court earlier this month.

Lengthy Jail Time for Armed Burglar

  • 7 years 10 months for Aggravated Burglary
  • 876 days concurrently for Burglary
  • 9 months concurrently for Non-residential Burglary

Gilhaney was found guilty of two burglaries in Hillingdon during 2023. One offence involved him wielding a machete, making it an aggravated burglary. He was also convicted of a separate burglary later that year in Hounslow.

“This sentence reflects the serious threat Gilhaney posed, carrying a lethal weapon during his crime spree,” the court stated.
