Sheffield man jailed for five-years for firearm

A sawn-off shotgun hidden in an empty rabbit hutch on an allotment plot in Sheffield has resulted in 21-year-old Jack Brook being sent to prison for five years.
Brook (pictured right), of Penrith Road, was charged with possession of a prohibited weapon after police executed a warrant at allotment plots in Shirecliffe in August last year, and discovered a sawn-off shot gun and a box of ammunition containing 11 shotgun cartridges at one of the plots.
Officers arrived at the allotments on Penrith Road on the afternoon of Friday 19 August 2016, after information was received of suspicious activity at two of the plots, which were rented to Brook’s family.
On searching the two sites, as well as the firearm discovery, it became apparent the plots were being used to breed dogs, as 21 puppies, 13 German Shepherds and eight Collies, of varying ages but all less than eight-weeks old, were also found in poor conditions.
Brook was arrested at the scene and later charged with the firearm offence.
The RSPCA were also called in and the puppies were handed over to them.
Brook appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday 24 May this year, and entered a guilty plea to possession of a prohibited weapon. He was sentenced yesterday (Wednesday, 28 June) to five years in prison.
Gun found in rabbit hutchDC Steve Hemsley investigating said: “I’m pleased Brook is behind bars and a dangerous weapon is now off the streets, out of circulation and unable to fall into anyone else’s hands.
“The allotment plots Brook chose to hide the firearm at had been in his family for over 40-years and have now both been repossessed by the council due to his criminality.
“I hope this send out a strong message that we will not tolerate the possession or use of firearms in South Yorkshire and I would always encourage anyone with information or concerns, to report it to police or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
The RSPCA have since rehomed the dogs and Brook received a caution for animal welfare offences.
In response to Brook’s activity at the allotments, Sheffield City Council added: “Criminality is something we will not tolerate on our allotment plots, or indeed on any council-owned property.
“It doesn’t matter how long you or your family may have had an allotment – if you are found to be using a plot for criminal activity, we will evict you, and hand any evidence to the police.
“We are happy to work in partnership with South Yorkshire Police and others, to ensure that our allotments remain safe, family-friendly sites for the community to enjoy.”

Man jailed for burglary and fraud offences

A 40-year-old man has been jailed for a little over three years after being convicted of theft and fraud offences.
Stuart Daniel Pearson (right), formerly of Conisbrough, Doncaster, appeared before Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday 21 June where he was found guilty of one count of burglary, one count of vehicle theft and one count of careless driving. He entered guilty pleas to four counts of fraud, one count of shoplifting and one count of driving while disqualified.
He was jailed for three years and eight weeks.
The court heard that between Sunday 18 December and Thursday 22 December 2016, Pearson committed a string of offences beginning with a burglary at a property in Mexborough where he stole a vehicle, a handbag and wallet containing cards and cash.
The cards were then used to make fraudulent transactions at a number of locations across Mexborough and neighbouring Rotherham.
On Tuesday 20 December, Pearson (driving the stolen car) was involved in a collision in Wath Road, Mexborough. The other driver asked to exchange details at which point he became evasive, got into the car and left the scene, driving at the other party as he did so. The matter was reported to police and a description taken from the witness.
Pearson’s crime spree came to an end on Thursday 22 December, when a security guard at a supermarket in Doncaster spied Pearson stealing Christmas crackers and wrapping paper. He was detained by the guard and police were called.
On arrival, officers noticed his clothing matched those of an individual in CCTV from the locations the stolen cards had been used, as well as the description taken from the witness at the collision.
PC Rob Scarrow, investigating officer, said: “I am pleased that Pearson is behind bars for his crimes.
“His short-lived spree caused upset and distress to his victims, I hope they are now reassured that he has received a custodial sentence.”
