    A prolific thief has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to four burglaries in Grimsby in November and December 2015.

    Daniel Sleeth, 35, is already serving an eight year jail term for three burglaries and one attempted burglary in the town.

    Officers say he was a one-man crime wave.

    The sentence really reflects the severity of his offending and should serve as a warning to other burglars that they can and will be identified and brought to justice."
