Wellingborough burglar stole jewellery worth more than £7k
A man who broke into a home in Wellingborough is facing a lengthy prison term.
Ben Stuart appeared before Northampton Crown Court in November to admit one charge of burglary.
The 32-year-old of HMP Wayland pleaded guilty to burgling the house in Buckwell Way in the centre of Wellingborough on January 9 this year.
The court heard he took jewellery, chequebooks, sunglasses and a mobile phone to the value of £7,106.
Stuart was sentenced to two years and five months in prison. He will serve half before he is released to serve the remainder of his sentence on licence.
