Bailey Winkle little scroat, 4 years inside the judge just wrote

Teenager Bailey Winkle ‘celebrated’ his 18^th birthday by going on a three-month crime spree across Peterborough and Lincolnshire. He admitted 40 charges when he appeared in court. These ranged from thefts from vehicles, burglaries, dangerous driving and two counts of making off from petrol stations without payment.

Winkley began in October last year, after turning 18, and broke into his victims homes before stealing keys and making off with their cars.

On occasions he even boasted about the thefts over text messages which were later recovered from his mobile phone by detectives.

The 18-year-old was arrested by detectives from the Acquisitive Crime Team (ACT) on 6 November, and later charged with 21 offences and remanded to appear in court the following day.

However, he was granted bail by the courts and went on to commit further offences before being arrested again on 30 December in Bardney, Lincolnshire.

Winkle, of Willonholt, Ravensthorpe, appeared at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday (23 May) where he was sentenced to four years in a Young Offender Institution.

He had previously admitted 40 offences including 17 thefts of vehicles, 13 burglaries, three thefts from vehicles – namely number plates, three attempted burglaries, two counts of making off without payment – namely fuel, one attempted theft of a vehicle and one count of dangerous driving.

He denied two charges of attempted fraud – namely using stolen bank cards, five charges of theft from a motor vehicle – namely theft of number plates, one charge of criminal damage and three charges of possession of cannabis, all of which will lie on file.

Detective Sergeant Rich Ellison, from the Acquisitive Crime Team (ACT), said: “Winkle was absolutely prolific in his offending and continued to commit crime while on court bail.

“Burglaries are one of the most intrusive crimes and Winkle clearly showed no regard for the impact his actions would have on his victims.”
