Serial burglar stole £12k Fabergé charm after watching woman leave home

A prolific burglar and arsonist watched a pensioner leave her home to go to church before stealing £70K worth of items from her property.

Jack Swanson appeared at Liverpool Crown Court on Thursday after pleading guilty to one count of burglary in a dwelling. Jo Maxwell, prosecuting, detailed that on December 3, 2022, the 74-year-old victim left her home in Bakewell, Derbyshire, to attend church.

Around 15 minutes later, she received a call from her security company that her alarm was sounding. She returned home to find the front patio door had been smashed.
