Yorkshire man jailed after being caught with Audi plates stolen in burglary

Dale Poppleton, 39, of Ash Mount, Bradford appeared at Bradford Crown Court on Monday, November 2.

The court heard that in June this year, he broke into a family home in Wibsey and assisted other suspects in stealing two cars from the driveway.

Then in the following month, he broke into another home in Bingley.

During that burglary, he took an Audi, handbag and purse, credit cards, house keys and cash from the property.

He was found later by police in Greater Manchester and was arrested.

At the time of his arrest, officers found the Audi registration places, the Audi key fob and the handbag in his possession.

He was charged with two offences of burglary.

Poppleton was jailed for three years and nine months.

Detective Inspector Damian Roebuck, of the Bradford District Crime Team, said: “We are pleased with the sentence which was handed to Poppleton for the burglary offences committed this year.

“These offences caused considerable distress to his victims

“Poppleton is a prolific offender and also tried to evade police following on from the burglaries he committed.

"I hope this sentence reassured local residents in Bradford that we do all we can to track down and bring perpetrators to justice.”
