A burglar who targeted a hotel in Carlisle has been jailed for nearly three years.
Mark Kenney, 45, of Moor Road, Longtown, stole keys from a manager’s office at the County Hotel in the city before taking cash and a watch from two guest rooms.
Investigations led to Kenney, who was arrested by detectives specialising in burglary enquiries.
Kenney was charged with burglary and sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court yesterday, Thursday, July 4.
He was jailed for two years and eight months for the crime, which happened on April 20.
PC Kieran Salkeld, after the sentencing, said: “We take any burglary seriously – this involved the taking of personal property and the targeting of a business in the city.
“Kenney now has time to reflect on his offending during a lengthy custodial sentence.
“If anyone sees anyone acting suspiciously or in a manner which suggests they could be targeting homes or businesses to burgle, we would always urge them to contact us as soon as possible.”
