Paul Debenham, a 30-year-old serial burglar with a history of targeting elderly individuals in Orpington, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. The verdict was delivered at Croydon Crown Court on Monday (April 29), marking the culmination of a series of aggravated burglaries and other related offences.
Debenham’s crime spree, marked by its brazenness and violence, sent shockwaves through the community. The most recent incidents occurred last year, when Debenham, armed with a handgun and a hammer, terrorised residents in their own homes.
