A career criminal has finally been slammed with a hefty six-year, nine-month jail term—after trying to dodge the law by discharging himself from hospital following a nasty car crash. But his lockdown didn’t stop him stealing.
George Dunn’s Crime Spree Across Kent
George Dunn, 42, went on a burglary rampage across Tonbridge, Cranbrook, Paddock Wood, and Ashford between June and July 2025. Over just three weeks, he smashed into five homes and swiped over £3,000 worth of valuables—jewellery, watches, handbags, bank cards, and even war medals.
Police pieced together his trail using CCTV footage and DNA evidence—from a glove left at one scene to his blood found at others.
Crash, Hospital Escape, and More Burglaries
On 20 July, Dunn’s string of offences took a dangerous turn when he crashed his car into a wall and fence in Tunbridge Wells—while disqualified and uninsured. Despite being seriously injured, he tried to flee as emergency services arrived and was eventually hospitalised in London.
