In a quiet suburb of Manchester, 2019, a string of burglaries left residents fearful. Each break-in happened at night, with no signs of forced entry. Police soon noticed a pattern—every house had the same locksmith service sticker on the door. Investigators traced the link to a 32-year-old locksmith who secretly copied keys while on jobs. After weeks of surveillance, he was caught carrying stolen jewellery in his van. He was sentenced to four years in prison, and the community finally slept easier.
Shout to Manchester.
