A Sheffield man has been sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to burglary at Sheffield Crown Court, yesterday afternoon (Thursday 6 April).
Paul Woodcock, 57, of Bowfield Court, Sheffield, was charged with one count of burglary after breaking into the home of a 77-year-old man.
PC Craig Winkless of Sheffield CID who led the investigation said: “An investigation into Woodcock, who initially denied the offence but pleaded guilty after forensic evidence linked him to the scene, was launched when the burglary was reported to us back in January of this year.
“In the burglary, Woodcock intentionally and callously targeted a vulnerable man to take advantage of him for his own selfish gain. I am glad that Woodcock has now owned up to his actions and has been punished by the courts.
“I hope that this demonstrates our dedication at the Sheffield Performance Crime Team, along with our persistence and desire to reducing crime and to bring burglars before the courts to face conviction.
“In this case in particular, I thank the victim for having the courage to come forward to Police”.
If you would like to report any instances of burglary or concerns you may have to police, please contact 101 or email enquiries@southyorks.pnn.police.uk”
