A WOMAN was left “really shocked and stressed” after she discovered to her horror how easy and “shocking” it was for raiders to break into her home and steal the keys to her car before taking the vehicle.

Burglar Daniel Beaney found himself saddled with another man’s £13,500 drug debt after a friend died and the brazen theft and sale of the stolen car would have helped to pay that off.

He claimed that a “geezer” pointed out the house as a suitable target for a moneymaking burglary and car theft mission and that he got involved because he was “just scared” for his safety, Hull Crown Court heard.

Beaney, 34, of North Street, Bridlington, but recently in custody, admitted burglary involving stealing car keys from the house, theft of a Mercedes car and possessing a friction lock baton as an offensive weapon on August 18.

Stephen Welch, prosecuting, said that a car, valued at £16,000 was parked on the driveway outside a woman's home in Preston, near Hull. The woman who lived there went to work at 7.30am.
