A serial burglar broke into a woman's home while she was attending her dad's funeral.
Carlos Graham stole a haul of goods worth more than £25,000 over the course of one morning during a spate of break-ins. The "regular, repeated and habitual" offender was previously part of an organised crime group which tied up victims and attacked them with weapons.
Andrew McInnes, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that the burglaries occurred in the Sefton Park area on the morning of June 30 this year. Among the properties targeted was a flat on Croxteth Road.
