Robbery - OXFORD ROAD, WINDSOR, UK, UNITED KINGDOM

2008-10-16

CCTV cameras installed by a Windsor community have helped jail a serial house-breaker. Ashley Coleman, 27, of Tomlin Road, Slough, last week began a three-year sentence for burglary after admitting a burglary in Clewer Fields, Windsor last month. Coleman who also goes by the name of Atkinson, was caught out on October 16, when he was captured on the CCTV cycling into the rear garage area of the properties at Clewer Fields and trying to get into houses through the back gates. He managed to get into one of the homes and was then pictured cycling away with a stolen laptop. After the burglary the CCTV footage was passed to the police who identified Coleman who later made a full admission.
