Jail for burglar found with stolen till in his flat

The till found in Moore's flat was taken during one of the break-ins

A burglar has been jailed after a till he stole during a series of shop break-ins was found in his flat.

Daniel Moore, aged 31, forced his way into multiple businesses in and around Worksop town centre – stealing cash and electrical items as well as the locked till.

Moore, who has multiple previous convictions for similar offences, targeted restaurants, a bakery and even a charity shop between 19 January and 2 February.

The tills were found at this flat in Gatefold Road when he was tracked down and arrested by local neighbourhood officers.

His identity was confirmed by CCTV footage, and he was also found in possession of clothing worn during the break-ins.

Appearing at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on Monday, Moore pleaded guilty to burglary and attempted burglary and was jailed for 12 months.

He was also instructed to pay compensation.

Sergeant Mark Talbot of the Worksop North Neighbourhood Policing team said: 

"Moore’s arrest and subsequent conviction is a significant result for the local community.

“We understand the impact that crimes like these have on hardworking business owners and their staff, and we are committed to bringing offenders to justice. 

“We will continue to work closely with businesses and residents to keep Worksop a safe place to live and work."
