A prolific burglar who stole more than £800,000 worth of items, including high-value cars, in a series of burglaries and thefts in Warwickshire, West Midlands, …Leicestershire and Staffordshire has been jailed.
Dale Melia from Coventry was sentenced to six-and-a-half years at Warwickshire Crown Court today.
The offences in Warwickshire occurred in Leamington, Nuneaton, Southam, Warwick, Bedworth, Hatton, Rugby, Bulkington, Ash Green and Kenilworth.
Detective Constable Tim O’Mahoney from the Warwickshire Police Offender Management Unit said: “The scale of Melia’s offending was astonishing and there is no doubt our communities are safer with him in prison.
“I would like to thank the public for their support in sharing our wanted appeals to find Melia and everyone who provided us with information throughout this lengthy investigation.”
