Two men have been sentenced following a spate of break-ins that saw more than £200,000 worth of valuables taken from victims.
Shamer Manning and Tom Manning were caught during a specialist operation by Northumbria Police's burglary team.
Between October 2020 and November 2021, police were alerted to 16 burglary offences across Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland which officers suspected were linked. All of the victims were from Asian communities and had either gold or cash stolen from their homes.
