Burglars jailed after southeast crime spree

Dear resident,

Two burglars have been jailed after taking part in a two-month crime spree across the southeast last year. 

Terence O’Reilly, 23, and James Carthy, 33, carried out nine burglaries, three attempted burglaries and a vehicle theft across four counties (Surrey, Hampshire, Kent, and Sussex) between August and October 2024.

Investigating officer DC McBain said, “This was a challenging case of organised criminality spanning the Southeast. Carthy and O’Reilly showed no remorse or regard for the effects of their crimes and locking them up will prevent many more burglaries. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this investigation.”
