Man jailed following series of burglaries in Staffordshire

A 20-year-old man from Birmingham has been jailed after pleading guilty for a series of burglaries across Stafford and the West Midlands.

Bradley Moraghan, of Chingford Road, was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison at Birmingham Crown Court on October 22.

The jail term follows a hearing where Moraghan was convicted of five burglaries, four of them taking place in Stafford on 27 June 2021.

Moraghan’s offences in Stafford saw him involved in burglaries in which he stole a silver Audi, motor vehicle keys, mobile phones and a purse. The 20-year-old was given a 14-month imprisonment for these offences.

Moraghan was also given a five-and-a-half-year sentence for an aggravated burglary that took place in Edgbaston, Birmingham on 20 July 2021.

DC Grant Dixon from Staffordshire Police said: “Moraghan’s offences were plentiful and each one had a profound impact on those targeted. We’re really pleased with the sentence handed to him by the courts.

“We hope it acts as a deterrent for anyone wishing to commit similar crimes in our county.”
