Police have released security camera footage of a burglar who hit nine houses in one night. Sean Maher, 38, was caught on camera in Bretton, Peterborough last August, stumbling over a wheelbarrow and making off with a stolen mountain bike.
Maher, from Welford Place, Wittering, has been sentenced to three years in jail after admitting to seven counts of attempted burglary, two counts of burglary, and one count of vehicle interference.
Detective Sergeant Rich Ellison of Cambridgeshire Police described Maher as a repeat offender with a long history of similar crimes dating back to 1999. “He went on a house-to-house spree in Bretton one night, unfortunately managing to break into two homes,” Ellison said.
