not had anything yet - not really expecting to, even though they said they would!
I'll maybe make some enquiries next week
His arrest maybe opened up a whole can of worms of fraud and id theft ~ a lot more investigation and charges. Doubt it will be done with quickly. I'll maybe make some enquiries next week
Just picked up a voicemail from the police. He's being charged with 4 counts of theft and one charge of going equipped. Court date set for two weeks time and I'm unlikely to be needed based on the strength of the evidence! They expect him to plead guilty, because that's exactly what he did when questioned.
Keep you posted.. wouldn't imagine the punishment will be enough for my liking, but we'll see.

Noice. 5 charges is sure a hell of a lot better than the initial response you received. You should go then you can hear first hand what this turkey has to say for himself, and possibly even see him be sentenced.

Any idea if I can look up upcoming court cases? Or at least check outcomes?
I'm kind of expecting the police to get in touch with me after, but I'd like to have a look.
Magistrates court lists are not published in advance (unlike Crown Court lists), however the list for the day hangs outside each court room in every Magistrates court and it's public, except youth cases which are not published. I'm kind of expecting the police to get in touch with me after, but I'd like to have a look.
You can walk into any Magistrates court and watch cases from the public gallery (except youth cases).
I believe the above is correct.
his losses are greater than mine, so yes, definitely.. more than enough.
Although my suspicion is that he was not acting alone, and also that there is a lot more history here with losses that my neighbours have felt. I would like to think there was more effort going in to the overall investigation of how he got keys, who was acting on the information he got, was he also involved in the previous issues going back years and years? Who else was he stealing from?
Unfortunately i'm aware that the police will just have acted on the information they got and the case will now be closed.. That's the way it is!
I'll still be setting up the camera again, as i don't seem to be getting a lot of mail at the moment!

It's a good result. He'll get pinched again and the sentences will get longer.Although my suspicion is that he was not acting alone, and also that there is a lot more history here with losses that my neighbours have felt.

Just because you didn't see a house of cards falling through this bloke getting charged doesn't mean that good intel was sourced and may have provided good leads for more action to follow.
