Three Brent burglars have been jailed for a total of 12 years.
Seasoned criminals Pierre Nader Wassef, 35, of Wykeham Hill Wembley, Christopher Andrew, 43 of Dartmouth Road, Cricklewood and 36-year-old Eric Butcher carried out a four-month crime spree across London and the Home Counties.
Detectives from Brent Police snared the trio after they carried out a covert surveillance operation and stopped them as they drove around in Ealing.
Officers recovered stolen property and various tools used to beak into homes in the car.
All three were jailed for four years each at Isleworth Crown Court after admitting suspicion of conspiracy to commit burglary.
