A 35-year-old man has been sentenced following house burglaries in Bromsgrove.

Georgel Brumea, aged 35, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to three years and two months at Worcester Crown Court on Monday, January 22 for two burglaries that took place in January 2018.

West Mercia Police said Brumea was arrested in October last year for the burglaries after he entered two homes and stole £1,650 worth of American Dollars and jewellery including high-value watches. 

Detective Constable Frances Pendleton, from North Worcestershire Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team, said: "We're pleased with the sentence Brumea received following extensive work from our team. 

"Burglary of any kind brings great upset to its victims, but theft of personal belongings from somebody's home can have an even bigger effect on people and I hope that this sentencing will show that we will do all we can to bring burglars to justice."
