Banned Burglar Jailed For Three Break-Ins

A burglar banned from the City of Westminster has been jailed for flouting the order and breaking into three shops.

Michael Daulat, 39, received eight months imprisonment.

At Southwark Crown Court he pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary and breaching a criminal behaviour order.

The court heard that he smashed the window of a shop in St. Christopher's Place in August, 2019 and stole £140 worth of clothing.

He targeted another shop in the same street in January, this year, throwing a brick through the window and stealing over £2,800 worth of clothing and bags.

In February he approached a shop in New Cavendish Street and again smashed the window, stealing £3,000 worth of designer goods.

Officers from the Central West BCU Burglary Unit launched an investigation and identified Daulat through CCTV and forensic evidence.

Detective Sergeant Pete Lower said: "This is an example to our businesses and community that burglary and theft will absolutely not be tolerated. 

“Those committing such offences can expect to arrested and put before the courts."
