A burglar who set up a business telling homeowners how to protect their homes is back in prison for burglary.
Sam Edwards, 28, launched Sam’s Burglary Prevention in 2019 to give locals tips on how to avoid being targeted by thieves.
He said at the time he had turned his back on crime, and also claimed to have stolen some £20m of goods
But the father of one has been jailed after he admitted 11 counts of burglary and one count of attempted burglary in April 2022.
He has now been sentenced to three years and five months behind bars.
He stole “high value” jewellery from Berkshire homes during a seven-month crime spree between September 2021 and March 2022.
Police said Edwards also stole irreplaceable items of “high sentimental value” and he was arrested following a joint investigation between Surrey Police and Thames Valley Police.
