44-year-old Raymond Agyemang-Gyamfi has been handed 3 years in prison for stealing power tools and cash from a property.

He also repeatedly attempted to break into another house between May and June.

CCTV led to his arrest on Shepperton High Street, and he admitted selling stolen goods at a market in London.

Investigating officer PC Rebecca Clarke from our Proactive Investigations Team, said: “Burglary is an intrusive crime which causes immeasurable distress to its victims.

“Agyemang-Gyamfi targeted a particular street and house multiple times which understandably created a sense of fear among residents in the community. Everyone should feel safe in their own home and Agyemang-Gyamfi took this away. Despite admitting his behaviour was not justified, he still could not understand the detrimental impact his actions had caused.

“Surrey Police are committed to thoroughly investigating burglary and will continue to pursue offenders like Agyemang-Gyamfi relentlessly to bring them to justice.”
