A gang of thieves broke into family homes as children slept to steal luxury cars including Audis, Mercedes and BMWs. Daniel Scollins, Lucas Hunter and Bradley Anderson caused 'misery' as part of a plot which saw £500,000 worth of high end vehicles being stolen from people's drives in up to 21 burglaries across Greater Manchester over a month long crime spree.
The gang used blowtorches to burn locks and gain access to people's homes, before stealing car keys as well as designer handbags and jewellery. On one night in January the gang struck five times in one night, in Prestwich, Boothstown, Worsley, Davyhulme and Harpurhey.
Families were left traumatised by their ordeals. "They talk about feeling on edge, paranoid, shaking,” the judge said. One woman was left too scared to live in her own home following the burglary and wanted to move.

"That is the sort of impact you had on people," Judge David Swinnerton told the trio. Children were sleeping in their homes during at least three of the break-ins, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
Expensive cars were stolen from homes in Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Manchester, Tameside and Lancashire between December 28, 2021 and January 31.
The stolen cars were then used in further burglaries. Only three of the cars have been recovered. Detectives made a key breakthrough after they discovered the first car they stole, a £33,000 Audi A3 Quattro, had a tracking device.
The gang used the Audi in subsequent break ins and the car tracked their movements. Cell site data from their mobile phones also showed the thieves were at the scene at the time of burglaries.
