Thugs jailed after burgling victim's home
The Chester Chronicle
|June 12, 2025
TWO men who orchestrated an aggravated burglary at an address in Ellesmere Port have been jailed.
-
Francis Constantine and Jonjo Swaine, from Liverpool, appeared at Chester Crown Court where they were sentenced for more than 15 years in prison.
Constantine, aged 27, of no fixed address, was sentenced to 10 years in prison plus an extended three years on licence after he pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary.
Meanwhile, 22-year-old Swaine, of Wilburn Street in Liverpool, was jailed for 30 months after he pleaded guilty to one count of burglary.
The court heard how in December 2024 the victim was selling a car seat on Facebook Marketplace when they were contacted by Constantine and Swaine, who had set up a fake account on the social media channel.
