Man to be sentenced next month after admitting to burglaries

A man who carried out a series of burglaries at businesses and homes in Brighton will be sentenced next month after admitted to his crimes in court.

34 year-old Craig Knight, of no fixed address was first stopped by police at the start of 2023.

At a hearing at Lewes Crown Court on Monday, September 22, Knight pleaded guilty to all the outstanding offences.

Knight has been remanded, and is due to be sentenced on October 14.

Detective Constable James Botting said:

"Knight was comfortable taking what was not his, repeatedly targeting different homes and small businesses in Brighton.

"His actions have had a significant impact on people’s lives, not only through the loss of their property but also the distress and disruption caused.

"We are pleased that following the overwhelming evidence against him, he has admitted his crimes, and we hope this brings some reassurance to the victims and the wider community.”
