POLICE have shared videos of two “prolific burglars” as they broke into businesses across Bath, Bristol, and North Somerset.
Connor Moore and Joseph Nash pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit burglary after evidence was presented of them being involved in a series of break-ins and thefts targeting pubs and other companies to steal cash.
Avon and Somerset Police also shared videos showing the moment of their arrest.
CCTV footage recovered during the investigation showed the pair using tools to break into the businesses to steal cash.
The first incident, shown in the video below, happened in the early hours of October 22 last year.
Moore, 28, and Nash, 36, were identified by officers through CCTV, phone work, forensics, and information provided by the public.
The pair were both arrested within minutes of each other on December 15, 2022, and subsequently charged.
Moore, of Crosscombe Drive in Hartcliffe, received a custodial sentence of two-and-a-half years at Bristol Crown Court on Friday 15 September.
Nash, of Coldpark Gardens in Bishopsworth, received a jail sentence two months longer.
