Burglars thought using Car Wash would give them a Clean Get away from Police

Two burglars were sentenced on Monday (14 August) after breaking into a house and stealing a car. Jodie Finn, 34, of Woodthorpe Road and Antek Pryce 40, of Eastchurch in Kent were sentenced in Guildford Crown Court after they admitted breaking into a home in %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_0%% on 22 February 2016. They were in the %%UKNIP_ANCHOR_1%% for less than two minutes before driving off in the homeowners Jaguar. They then used the stolen car to commit a number of crimes across Sussex which included making off without payment for fuel, and thefts. Pryce was sentenced to two years for burglary and 15 months for theft of a motor vehicle. Finn was sentenced to one year for burglary and four months for theft of a motor vehicle. DC Steven Cassidy, who investigated the pair, said "These two went on a crime spree across Sussex using the car they'd taken from Surrey. When we recovered the car we found a receipt identifying that they'd taken the car through a car wash. I questioned Finn on it and she replied she 'couldn't be seen to drive a dirty Jag'!"
