A man, who failed to cover his tracks by leaving DNA, has been jailed for a spate of burglaries.
Simon McWilliams, 38, of no fixed address, was sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court after pleading guilty to 12 counts of burglary, four counts of theft of motor vehicles, two counts of assault and handling stolen goods.
Between July 2017 and November 2017, police received a number of reports of burglaries where windows and patio doors to the rear of houses had been smashed.
In one case McWilliams tried to gouge out the eye of a victim who attempted to apprehended him, hit the victim’s mother and bit her on the leg.
He was jailed for five years.
