A Sheffield burglar has been jailed for three years after admitting stealing from a 62-year-old man.
Nathan Lee Biggin, 33, of Mount Street, Sharrow, was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday (29 September) following a burglary on Elm Lane in August.
Biggin gained access to the property through an upstairs bathroom window and went on to steal items including cash, wallets, an i-Pad, an i-Phone as well as a car.
Sheffield detectives identified Biggin through forensic evidence at the scene which was linked to the stolen car.
As a result, he was arrested, charged and remanded on Friday 1 September.
Detective Inspector Paul Murphy, leading the investigation, said: “I am pleased that Biggin has received a prison sentence.
“Burglary leaves victims scarred for life and no-one should feel vulnerable in their own homes, or anywhere for that matter.
“We will continue to work hard to protect members of the public and bring those responsible for crime before the court.”
