A man and a woman have begun a combined total of eight years behind bars for two separate burglary offences.
Jane Hart, 44, of Wakefield Road, Athersley, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Monday 13 November, where she was jailed for five years for aggravated burglary.
One afternoon in September, Hart forced her way into the home of an elderly woman in Highcroft Drive, Athersley.
Carrying a tin opener, she threatened the woman before stealing a small amount of cash from her.
Daniel Wogan, 20, of Upper Forest Road, Athersley, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court last week, (Friday 10 November), where he was jailed for three years for one count of burglary.
In August, Wogan broke into a house in Eastfield Crescent, Mapplewell, by throwing bricks through a downstairs window.
He stole a number of electrical items and a small amount of cash.
Both Wogan and Hart pleaded guilty at earlier hearings.
Detective Inspector John Wheaton, for Barnsley, said: “Burglary is an extremely intrusive crime which can leave people feeling vulnerable and often scared to be in their own homes.
“No one should ever feel like this and our officers in Barnsley have been and continue to work hard to tackle burglaries across the borough, identify those involved and bring them before the courts.”
