The getaway driver for a gang of burglars has been jailed after he admitted being involved in raids on homes across Worcestershire netting a total of 100,000.

The gang targeted empty properties during the day and broke in through back windows and doors, Worcester Crown Court heard. Many of the homes were ransacked as the burglars carried out searches for jewellery and other valuables.

In one raid, they stole jewellery worth more than 45,000 and in others, they took a number of items of sentimental value including a young mum's engagement and wedding rings and a grandmother's locket containing family pictures, the court heard. Few of the items have been recovered. One woman victim said she felt "violated" after discovering clothes strewn all around her bedroom as they hunted for valuables and some said in impact statements they were considering moving home.

Wyngrave Allen, of Hadley Court, Edgbaston, Birmingham, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to rob and was jailed for three years and nine months.

Nazreen Sultan, prosecuting, said he had been involved in 14 burglaries and one attempted burglary on various dates in November and December last year. On one day, the gang had driven to carry out raids on four homes in the Worcester area.

They made sure the property was empty to avoid confrontation and to give them more time and the victims only discovered they had been burgled when they returned from work or, on one occasion, from a two-week holiday. The raiders gained entry by breaking windows in back doors or conservatories or by forcing patio doors.

Targets included homes in Dilmore Lane, Lansdowne Crescent, Winchester Avenue, Bicton Avenue and Bevere Close in Worcester. On the last of these, they were disturbed when neighbours spotted two men acting suspiciously.

They also struck at homes in Upton Road, Powick and Leigh Grove in Droitwich, two cottages in Ombersley and one in Hindlip and houses in Elm Road, Evesham and Defford Road in Pershore. A raid on a home in Mason Ryde, Pershore, netted more than 45,000 worth of jewellery, almost half the total haul. They also struck at two homes in Stratford upon Avon.

The value of items taken ranged from several hundred to several thousand pounds, mainly made up of jewellery and electrical items including computer consoles, TVs and games, Miss Sultan told the court.

Allen was caught when he took some of the stolen computer games to sell at a store in Birmingham and his Ford Fiesta was spotted on number plate recognition systems around the areas of the burglaries.

NORTHBROOK Cold weather isnt the only bad thing thats starting early this year.

Burglaries are up, too. Seven Northbrook homes were burglarized in September, compared to two in the same month in 2013 and two in September of 2012.

It seems a little early this year, said Mike OMalley, commander of the Northbrook Police investigations unit. Usually October November is a big time for residential burglaries.

OMalley said that it appears that catching one bunch of criminals wouldnt stop the crimes.

Its not all the same crew there are probably two or three crews setting up here, he said.

Some of the homes were entered through rear doors, and some through sliding glass doors. Some of those sliders werent alarmed, and some could have been better protected just by laying a pipe or rod in the lower track to block the opening of the doors, OMalley said.

The locks on patio doors are notoriously easy to foil.

The crimes dont seem to be confined to one or two parts of town, but have been sprinkled throughout the village and beyond. In Glencoe, there have been five burglaries in about the same period of time.

Its not just us, Glencoe Deputy Police Chief Alan Kebby said Monday. Its in Winnetka, too, all over the place.

Two of the Glencoe burglaries, and one of the Northbrook crimes on the 2900 block of Keystone Road Sept. 23 were break-ins of homes under construction. Furnaces, air-conditioning units, washers and dryers and TV sets went out the door.

A rash of residential break-ins in Steveston have area residents worried as in at least a couple of incidents, the overnight thefts have seen homeowners encounter the bandit face-to-face.

While Richmond Mounties are trying to identify the culprits, Richmond RCMP Cpl. Stephanie Ashton urged area residents to report all suspicious activity, which may help lead investigators to those who are responsible.

The most recent one apparently occurred early Tuesday, around 2 a.m., when a resident awoke to find a thief in the house.

According to the City of Richmonds interactive Criminal Activity Map (tinyurl.com/RichmondCrime)which is updated daily and shows where residential/commercial break-ins, and thefts from car occurthere were four houses struck on Shuswap Avenue and Skagit Drive, mid morning on Sunday, Sept. 21, between 5 and 7:30 a.m. Three of the break-ins were successful, with unlocked front, back and patio doors being used to gain entry.

Then on the weekend of Sept. 27 and 28, there were five break-ins on the 3100 block of Steveston Highway and nearby Springthorne Crescent, with three between 5 and 7 a.m. Two detached garages who had left their doors unlocked were targetted.

Two other homes were targeted just down the road that same weekend, on 6th Avenue, both between 3 and 4 a.m., one of which was successful.

Weve definitely seen a spike in break-ins and theft from auto, Ashton told The Richmond Review Tuesday.

So what are police doing about it? And what can residents do?

Ashton said police are urging residents to report all break-ins and attempted break-ins, which might provide them the crucial detail that could lead to the perpetrators being identified and arrested.

Local volunteers, through the Blockwatch, Crimewatch and Lock-out Auto Crime programs are doing their part too, including doing overnight patrols in neighbourhoods. Police patrol areas whenever they receive reports of an interupted break-in or suspicious activity.

Les Trois Tilleuls Htel & Spa, on the banks of the Richelieu River, has been a go-to destination for bon vivants for 40 years.

French gastronomy, rare vintage liquor and indulgent spa treatments have defined the high life at this rambling, upscale waterfront inn, so popular for romantic sojourns, sunset weddings and other celebrations. But four decades is a long time to party, and la belle vie has taken its toll. Its high time for a facelift and a fresh direction.

Say no more. Enter the new owners, Michel Barrette, comedian, actor and Radio-Canada host, and his partner, real estate entrepreneur David Sepulchre, who are giving Les Trois Tilleuls a fabulous second debut.

Contemporary new look

Its curtains for the dowdy drapes. Say sayonara to ruffles and doilies. We bid adieu to dated French bedroom sets, wave farewell to faded carpets and say toodle-oo to tables of rustic pine.

Les Trois Tilleuls new look is clean, crisp and contemporary. The lobby, bar and dining room have been redecorated with cool taupe leather seating, natural wood floors and pure white walls. New glass patio doors let in the light and broaden the mesmerizing river views.

Life has moved outdoors too, while there still is fine weather. Sepulchre and Barrette are betting on an endless summer, with a new large deck shaded by colourful patio umbrellas and overlooking gardens and tinkling fountains. They have even added a chic outdoor living room, with sofas for lounging and gauzy fabric separating each space for privacy.

It wouldnt be an authentic Richelieu River scene without a lot of leisure boats, so Tilleuls has added a 20-slip marina. Thats right you can power up your yacht or paddle your canoe and stop in for lunch.

Food and drink

We still represent the high life, said Barrette, who lives across the street from the inn, was married there and has been a regular client, but we have introduced affordable options.
