Sophisticated car thief jailed for high-end vehicle thefts
A car criminal has been jailed for more than four years after admitting his part in a series of sophisticated, high-end vehicle thefts.
Reece Woodthorpe, 24, originally from Wolverhampton, but now of The Roundabout, Birmingham, appeared at Birmingham Crown Court for sentencing after admitting to a series of car thefts.
Woodthorpe was captured by police after investigating officers discovered an image of him on a phone that was seized, including over where a distinctive tattoo could be seen on his hand while he was driving a stolen vehicle.
During a search of Woodthorpe's home, which at the time was in Wolverhampton, officers recovered a key fob and electronic equipment, that was hidden in a couch, that is used to access vehicles by keyless means.
