Luton fraudster confessed to over 70 burglaries after his arrest

Aaron Evangelou, 32, of Crescent Road, Luton, was arrested after he was identified on CCTV following a burglary on Elmore Road, Luton.

After his arrest, Evangelou was also linked with two other burglaries on Meyrick Avenue and Hillary Crescent through DNA traces left behind.

Evangelou also committed fraud by using bank cards stolen from an address in St Martins Avenue.

During his interview with Detective Constable Jason Wheeler, Evangelou made admissions to a further 68 burglary offences.

DC Wheeler said: “Evangelou is a prolific burglar and I am glad he has been sentenced to time in prison.

"I hope that he uses this time to reflect on his actions and does not re-offend in the future.

“Fortunately I was able to identify Evangelou through CCTV footage and due to the good work of our forensic officers at the scenes.

“Burglary is a key priority for the force and such criminality will not be tolerated in Bedfordshire.

“The force continues to run dedicated operations to target those individuals who commit burglary offences.”
