Three men and a woman have been jailed today
(Thursday, February 9) at Liverpool Crown Court for more
than 22 years for a burglary conspiracy.
Shaun Kelly, aged 22, of no fixed abode,
Phillip Manning, aged 24, of no fixed abode,
John Philip King, aged 27, of Lord Nelson Street,
Liverpool city centre, and Tania Southward, aged
20, of Langford Road, Northwich, had previously pleaded
guilty to the conspiracy.
Kelly was jailed for eight
years, King received seven
years, Manning was handed six
years and Southward was jailed for
17 months.
The four were arrested on October 4th 2011 following a joint
operation with Merseyside Police and Cheshire Police.
The four were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit
burglary between July 2010 and January 2011 in Cheshire and south
Liverpool and were subsequently charged with the offence.
DC
Chris Bromilow, from
Merseyside Police, said:
These four individuals were involved in a raft of
burglaries across Cheshire and south Liverpool and we
welcome today's sentence which will see them taken off our streets
for a considerable amount of time.
We take burglaries extremely seriously and
recognise the impact it has on victims. We will continue to work
hard with our partners and neighbouring forces to ensure that those
responsible for burglaries are caught and brought to justice.

DS
Ian Alldred, from
Cheshire Police, added:
Burglary is a despicable crime as it targets
people in the one place they should feel safest-in their own
home.
We take any incidents of this nature
extremely seriously and the sentences passed down
today reflects that.
Those who believe Cheshire is an easy target should be warned-we
will not tolerate anyone who chooses to travel
into the area to commit crime.
We are committed to tackling the issue and will continue to work
with our colleagues in neighbouring forces to ensure that those who
break the law end up paying the price for their
actions.
- DS Ian Alldred, Cheshire Constabulary
