Gang of burglars turned house 'upside down' and escaped with thousands in cash and jewellery

- By MARK NAYLOR

A GANG of burglars raided a house and turned it “upside down” during a “messy search” before escaping with a stash of £4,000 cash and jewellery valued at about £8,000.

The shocked occupier could not believe his eyes when he arrived back home to see the trail of destruction and he had “never seen anything like this” in 20 years. Blood stains left at the scene later trapped one of the team of intruders, Hull Crown Court heard.

Father-of-two Karwan Ahmed, 42, of Woodbine Close, off Beverley Road, Hull, admitted an offence of burglary on December 27.

Eugene Cross, prosecuting, said that the occupier of a house in Hartoft Road, west Hull, left his home locked and went to work at about 1pm but, when he returned at 11.30pm, he discovered that there had been a break-in and the lights were on. The rear door into the kitchen had been broken and was open.
