Man jailed for two year after Ipswich burglaries

 

A man has been jailed for two burglaries at businesses in Ipswich.

David Dixon, (pictued above) 37, of Fonnereau Road, Ipswich, was sentenced to two years in prison at Ipswich Crown Court today (Thur 2 November) at Ipswich Crown Court after his earlier guilty plea

It follows two incidents in August. The first took place on Tuesday 1 August at Kerala Store in St John’s Road. The back door was forced open and items including cigarettes, alcohol and cash were taken. 

On Wednesday 9 August a metal bar was used to force open the shutters of Andrews Jewellers in Buttermarket. A window was smashed and an amount of jewellery was taken from inside. 

Following enquires, police arrested Dixon on Friday 11 August on suspicion of burglary. He was taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning and was subsequently charged.

DC Aimee Berry of Ipswich CID said: “To see Dixon behind bars will, I hope, give some comfort to the victims – burglary of any type is extremely upsetting for the homeowners and business owners and their staff. Dixon will now have plenty of time to reflect on his criminal actions.”

“A special thank you to the Scorpion team who were efficient in affecting and seizing the stolen property for these investigations so they could be returned to the rightful owners”.
