40 months in prison for prolific Nuneaton thief

A man has been sentenced to 40 months’ in prison for multiple burglaries and thefts.

Sam Proctor, 36, from Nuneaton, appeared at Warwick Crown Court earlier this week (Monday 10 March) after pleading guilty to a number of offences including burglary, theft, and handling stolen goods. All of the offences took place in the Nuneaton area, including Horeston Grange, Weddington, Attleborough and Hilltop.

He must serve a minimum of 20 months’ in prison before he is eligible for release, and is required to pay a victim’s surcharge of £228.

Investigating Officer Detective Sergeant Alan Gardner commented, “We would like to thank the victims and witnesses that helped us with this case, providing the evidence that resulted in Proctor’s guilty plea.

“It’s been great being able to give the victims of these burglaries the reassurance that Proctor has been suitably punished for his crimes.”
