9. Mckenzie Williams: Burglar jailed for five years, one month in July 2026
A prolific burglar is behind bars after being undone by diligent officers who followed CCTV footage to catch him visiting a pub just minutes after he had ransacked a Sheffield home. Mckenzie Williams, 21, fled across a field to a pub in Main Road, Ridgeway, and ordered a soft drink before chatting with other drinkers in the smoking area on 15 January 2026. His brazen actions came less than 20 minutes after he had broken into a house in Teesdale Road where he stole cash, jewellery, games consoles and passports from the homeowners. CCTV trawls allowed officers to track Williams in the area before and during the burglary, and they were able to follow his route to the pub in Main Road. Matching his clothing from exhibits seized following his arrest to what he was wearing in the footage solidified his involvement in the burglary. Williams was also matched to two other offences in Smalldale Road on the same day (15 January) and a burglary in Halifax Road, Sheffield, on 7 January 2026 in which he stole wallets containing bank cards. He went on to use one of the bank cards at petrol stations where he was again caught on CCTV. On July 23, 2026, Williams, of Doncaster Road in Rotherham, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court where he pleaded guilty to three offences of burglary, one attempt burglary and three offences of fraud by false representation. He was jailed on the same day for five years and one month | South Yorkshire Police
10. Corban Bartle: Jailed for five years for drug dealing in July 2026
A Sheffield couple have been sentenced for numerous offences following an operation to crack down on a drugs line in the city. At around 1pm on October 28, 2025 officers in an unmarked police car were parked on Knowles Avenue in Sheffield when they saw Corban Bartle pull up outside a shop and go inside. The officers had recent information linking Bartle, 22, of Willow Road, to drug supply in the area and detained him for the purposes of a search. During the search officers found two mobile phones, a quantity of cash, and CS gas. He was arrested on suspicion of drug offences and subjected to a further search in custody which uncovered five bags of white powder, later confirmed to be cocaine. As officers attended to search Bartle’s property, they observed his partner, Lily Tuckwood, 23, of Hyacinth Close, leaving the address with several bags and getting into a white Mercedes. Officers stopped and searched the vehicle. The searches of the Mercedes and Bartle’s home also uncovered three tasers, quantities of cannabis and cocaine, and drug paraphernalia. Tuckwood was arrested on suspicion of drug offences. Examination of the seized mobile phones and Bartle’s Facebook account found numerous conversations about drug supply. Conversations on his Signal app also revealed Bartle had offered to sell tasers. Bartle and Tuckwood were charged with drug and weapons offences and first appeared at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on October 30, 2025. On January 16, 2026 at Sheffield Crown Court Bartle pleaded guilty to being concerned in the offer to supply cocaine and a Class B drug, being concerned in the making of an offer to supply cannabis, and a possession of a firearm offence. On April 23, 2026, he additionally pleaded guilty to possession for sale or transfer of a firearm, and Tuckwood pleaded guilty to possession of a weapon for the discharge of a noxious liquid, gas, or other thing, and being concerned in the supply of cocaine and cannabis. On Friday, July 10, 2026, Bartle pleaded guilty to possessing criminal property. Ba | SYP
