Burglar jailed after stealing five vehicles in house raids

A MAN has been jailed after he carried out a string of burglaries and broke into people's homes as they slept.

- 

Lewis Dooley, from Moston, was involved in five burglaries in Oldham and north Manchester last year, police said.

The 22-year-old broke into victims' homes in the middle of the night while they were sleeping and used lock snaps to force open patio doors.

Five vehicles were stolen using keys from inside the houses, along with a number of high-value items.

Dooley carried out the burglaries with a young accomplice, who cannot be named due to their age.
