Faces of men who targeted homes and cars across in crime spree worth over £1m

These are some of the faces of a "ruthless" gang who stole high-performance cars and burgled homes across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands as part of a crime spree worth more than £1 million. The four men carried out their crimes while their victims were asleep, burgling 41 homes across Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Rutland and stealing cars such as Audis, Mercedes and BMWs.

The cars they stole were worth a total of £1,153,500 and a number of them, collectively worth £373,000, are still missing - they took them by stealing car keys from inside their victim's homes. The men appeared at Leicester Crown Court on Friday, March 25 to be sentenced, having pleaded guilty to involvement in the conspiracy to commit the burglaries between June and October, 2019.

The gang included Chay Bowskill, who was already serving a sentence for kidnapping his former girlfriend, Angel Lynn. He was given an additional four years for his role in the plot. The court heard Bowskill, 20, of Syston, worked with 18-year-old Josh Healy, of Laurel Close, Mountsorrel, Barry Kew Moss 22, and 19-year-old Travis Hindmarsh, both of no fixed address, Leicestershire Live reports.
