After Casey’s court appearance, the 55-year-old victim contacted PC Angela Rollett of Rotherham South Neighbourhood Team to thank her for her continued support, and express her relief that the incident wouldn’t go to trial.
PC Rollett said: “I’m really pleased with the sentence passed this week.
"Burglary in itself is an incredibly intrusive crime, but coming face to face with the offender makes it even more traumatic.

“The victim and I worked together straight away to create an e-fit of Casey, and he was picked out of an ID parade after being circulated as wanted in June 2019.
“We know burglary is a blight on our communities, but I want to assure people that we do investigate offences, support victims and work tirelessly to get offenders behind bars.”
