A burglar has been sentenced to a total of four years in prison over two break-ins in Northampton.
According to court documents, 48-year-old Leon Glasgow pleaded guilty to stealing from a residential property in Elysium Terrace on August 29, 2024, and a hairdressers in nearby Harborough Road five days later.
Glasgow stole a laptop and a set of keys from the residential property and a money box containing about £280 from the hairdressers.
After being charged with two counts of burglary and one count of breaching a suspended sentence, Glasgow appeared at Northampton Crown Court on November 13 for sentencing.
Lead investigator - PC Chris Perkins said: “Leon Glasgow still hasn’t learnt his lesson so I am pleased to see him jailed for a decent amount of time and I really hope he begins to realise that crime doesn’t pay in Northamptonshire.
“Businesses and individuals work hard and to have their possessions stolen by a burglar is a really difficult experience to go through. That’s why we will continue working hard as a burglary team to put more people like Leon Glasgow behind bars.”
Glasgow, whose address was given as Limehurst Square, Duston, was sentenced to four years in prison.
