"I hope that he spends his time reflecting on his actions and the impact his they have had on the victims.

"Fortunately he left forensic evidence at the scene of the burglary, which was located by our Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCO).

“Burglary is a key priority for the force and we have a dedicated unit dealing with burglary offences.

"Such criminality won’t be tolerated and Operation Maze is targeting those individuals who think this brazen behaviour in Bedfordshire is acceptable.”
