Three men have been jailed for burglary in Doncaster, a year after the launch of a city-wide campaign of action tackling burglaries by South Yorkshire Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result of Operation Castle, one of the men, Lee Barnes, 46, of HMP Doncaster, received an eight-year sentence after raiding a person’s home and threatening her with a knife. He admitted multiple burglaries and attempted burglaries as well as fraud, assault and robbery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesse Sadd, 32, of no fixed address, was jailed for five years earlier in the year after admitting multiple burglaries and theft-related offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mario Cicack, 19, of Hexthorpe Road, was sentenced to three years for four counts of fraud and three counts of burglary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Yorkshire Police were able to solve a number of burglaries that had not even been reported yet as they tracked the teenager down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cicack stole victims’ bank cards and one of these cards was traced to a shop. Officers then tracked him to his address, where their search found many other stolen goods linked to other cases, some of which hadn’t even been reported beforehand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
