Two men have been jailed following a series of burglaries in Northampton last year.
In September 2025, Jermaine Preston Lewis, aged 44, committed multiple burglaries throughout the town at several addresses, including Towcester Road, Waveney Way, Chapel Green, Rochelle Way, Swale Drive, and Derwent Close.
Among the stolen items were coins, bank cards, a laptop, a phone, gold rings, a watch, and a passport.
Lewis used the stolen bank cards to make fraudulent contactless transactions in shops and petrol stations.
During the burglary on Towcester Road, Lewis and Darren Bason, aged 55, stole a blue Ford B-Max from one of the residents.
Lewis faced charges of six counts of burglary, six counts of fraud by false representation, two counts of motor vehicle theft, one count of cannabis possession, and two counts of driving without insurance.
Bason,previously of Harlestone Road, Northampton, was charged with burglary and fraud by false representation.
Lewis pleaded guilty at Northampton Crown Court in December 2025, whereas Bason was convicted following a trial at Northampton Magistrates’ Court in February.
Both men were sentenced last week at Northampton Crown Court, with Lewis receiving three years and six months in prison, and Bason getting a three-year sentence.
Lead investigator - PC Cooper, said: “I am pleased that this investigation has resulted in two custodial sentences as it means Northampton is just that little bit safer without Jermaine Lewis and Darren Bason prowling the streets looking for people’s homes to burgle."
