"According to Surrey Police, the gang was caught "red-handed in a stolen vehicle with stolen property" in March after a surveillance operation by the county's Serious Organised Crime Unit using CCTV, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition), and drones. The burglars were using stolen cars on cloned plates, leaving their phones behind or switched off, and trying to remove forensic evidence with cleaning spray in attempts to avoid detection, detectives said."

George Price, 34, from St Helen's, admitted 21 offences of conspiracy to commit burglary and was jailed for 10 years and two months."
