He has been sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court
A burglar was chased out of a home in Nottingham after breaking in and stealing jewellery. Jake Mason smashed a patio door and window to gain entry to the home, in Derby Road, Lenton.
The victim, who had been to see her father in hospital, saw Mason inside her house when she returned. She chased after him, after he jumped out of the broken window, but later lost sight of him. Nottinghamshire Police were alerted to the burglary and were able to link the 29-year-old to the scene through blood traces. He was subsequently arrested at his home and charged with burglary, which he pleaded guilty to.Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing on Friday, October 6, Mason, formerly of Althorpe Drive, Loughborough, was sentenced to just under two-and-a-half years in prison. “This was a gross violation of the complainant’s home," said Judge James Sampson.
"I accept you massively regret what you did, and that it was probably impulsive, but she may never feel safe there again.” Detective Sergeant Rob Palethorpe, added: “Good police work led to us linking Mason to this despicable offence and I’d like to reassure people that we will do everything we can to pursue burglary offenders who can expect a robust response from the force.”
