'Prolific' burglar jailed for six years for hometown break-ins

Daniel Kaye, 37, of Westfield Street, Ossett, was given six years behind bars after admitting targeting the properties between November 30 and December 5, and also stealing cars from outside.

He was also banned from driving for six years after appearing at Bradford Crown Court.

Properties that Kaye broke into included homes on Broomcroft Road and Cedar Avenue.

Among the items he stole were a Ford Mondeo and a Renault.

Sergeant Katie Madden of Wakefield NPT said: "We are pleased with the sentence which was handed to Kaye for the burglary offences he committed.

"We recognise the distress that offences like this cause to the victims and the community.'

"Kaye is a prolific offender and I hope this sentence reassured local residents in the Wakefield district that we do all that we can to track down and bring perpetrators to justice.

“We always advise residents to be mindful of burglars, like Kaye, who could be operating in communities, particularly during the winter period when nights are longer."
