Man, 43, jailed for using bank cards he stole during burglaries at Northampton homes
A man has been jailed after he fraudulently used bank cards, which he stole during burglaries at Northampton homes.
Jermaine Lewis, previously of Northampton, appeared at Northampton Crown Court on October 16 for sentencing after he pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary and four counts of fraud by false representation.
On the night of June 16 this year, the 43-year-old broke into a property in Chapel Green and rifled through the cupboards before stealing one of the occupant’s bank cards, which he then used fraudulently in nearby shops.
In the early hours of July 11, Lewis entered a property in Witham Walk and once inside, stole items, including bank cards, which were also used fraudulently.
Lead investigator - PC Chris Perkins - said: “We don’t underestimate how much a crime such as this can affect someone which is why we will always do everything we can to bring the offenders to justice.
“That’s exactly what we have done here with Jermaine Lewis and we will continue working hard to put more people like him behind bars.”
Lewis was sentenced to three years in prison.
