A heavy-smoking burglar, who left his DNA behind on cigarette butts during two of his break-ins, has been caged.
Mateus Korniluk, 33, of Harley Road, Harlesden also left his DNA on a drinks can and holdall at two more burglaries.
He pleaded guilty at Isleworth Crown Court to the four burglaries and was sentenced to six years imprisonment.
On Wednesday, June 26, last year Korniluk was seen leaving a residential property in Emlyn Gardens, Shepherds Bush on a bike with two large, full holdalls while smoking a cigarette.
He stole electrical equipment from the address and left his DNA behind on a cigarette butt inside the property.
Between October 4 and 7 Korniluk smashed a basement window at a residential property at Drayton Gardens, Kensington.
The property was undergoing renovation at the time and Korniluk stole a variety of power tools belonging to tradesmen who had been working at the property.
He left his DNA behind on a drinks can.
Between February 24 and 25, this year Korniluk broke into a residential property in St Peter’s Grove, Hammersmith.
He left the address with electrical items, but again, left behind cigarette butts that held his DNA.
In the early hours of Wednesday, February 5 Korniluk burgled a residential property in Flanchford Road, Shepherds Bush that was undergoing renovations.
He stole a variety of power tools belonging to tradesmen.
On scaffolding at the rear of the property, he left a holdall that, again, provided his DNA.
Police Constable Naveed Sulaiman said: “The effects of being a victim of burglary run far deeper and are more long lasting than a loss of property.”
“We are very pleased that the sentence reflects the seriousness of these offences and the negative impact that Korniluk’s actions have had on so many victims.”
