A serial burglar from Rochdale targeted the town’s business in order to steal money. Now, Mohammed Rameez, of Ann Street, Rochdale, has been jailed for 28 months.
The 29-year-old carried out six burglaries from December 21, 2021, and January 22, 2022. Rameez broke into four takeaways and stole money, and then raided an opticians and a cleaning supplies store on Oldham Road.
Detectives say Rameez’s crimes had ‘huge impact’ on local firms ‘both financially and emotionally’. Inspector Graham Cooke, from GMP's Rochdale district, said: "We're absolutely committed to investigating burglars and bring them to justice.
