Two burglars who went on a week-long crime spree trashed family homes and stole jewellery that held priceless memories, a court was told. Kevin Davies, of Isaac Way in Rhosymedre, Wrexham, appeared before Mold Crown Court charged with burglary. His co-accused - Tyler Williams, of Abbots Way in Bangor on Dee - faced three burglary charges.
Ryan Rothwell, prosecuting, told the court that Williams broke into a home in Malpas in Cheshire where a family of four lived. The husband, wife and two children left home on August 14, 2020, and went away to Kent for the weekend.
The home owner was alerted to footage from his home CCTV cameras of two men in dark clothing running away from the property in the early hours of Saturday morning. The police were alerted after a neighbour who checked on the home found "a devastating scene of destruction".
