Luton burglar jailed for over two years after raids on two homes

Marvin Warmington, 45, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to two break-ins in Luton earlier this year.

On April 14, Warmington crept into a home in Cutenhoe Road through an unsecure garage door and stole a laptop.

He also pleaded guilty to a burglary in Bradley Road on May 23. On this occasion, he forced open the front door and stole a wallet containing the victim's bank card, passport and a stash of cash.

He then used the stolen bank cards to withdraw £700.

Warmington was captured on CCTV, and identified by witnesses and police officers.

He has now been jailed for a total of two years and five months for two counts of burglary and four counts of fraud.

Detective Constable Jason Wheeler said: “Our team is dedicated to crack down on burglary and we are satisfied with the result.

“While we are working hard to secure results, we would encourage residents to think about their home security as we are approaching darker nights.

"Please ensure that you keep your windows and doors double locked, and when going out at night, consider leaving a light on to make your home look lived in.”
