Prolific young burglar who stole cars 'to provide for his girlfriend' jailed for 20 home invasions
A prolific burglar who broke into 20 homes across the Black Country to steal the homeowners' powerful cars "to provide for his girlfriend's lifestyle" has been jailed.
Cameron Harrison, 21, pleaded guilty to burglary and asked for 19 other similar offences to be taken into consideration before being sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court this week.
The thief specialised in breaking into homes with expensive cars on the driveway, often while the homeowners were sleeping, and targeted leafy avenues in Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton and Sandwell.
Whilst on bail on October 17, last year, Harrison burgled a family home on Merryfield Road, Dudley. As well as the keys to the Mini Cooper and BMW on the drive, Harrison also stole a Tag Heuer watch.
Harrison, of Tramway Close, Bilston, is currently serving a 12-month sentence for his part in a crack cocaine and heroin supply ring and has previous convictions for car theft and drink driving.
