Detective Constable Jason Wheeler said: “We have a specialist team in place which is committed to tackling burglary and we will continue to do all we can to identify our offenders and bring them to justice.

“Fahey broke into this address whilst the victim was at home and it was extremely frightening.

“These CCTV images left him with no option but to plead guilty. Things like CCTV and doorbell cameras give us a great chance to catch the burglars blighting our communities.”
