See SWNS story SWTOMTOM; A gang of professional burglars have been jailed for a total of 21 years after a judge heard they left a trail of misery across Devon. The three men targeted the homes of empty homes of pensioners who were away on holiday and looted £100,000 worth of jewellery in 39 raids. They were trapped because they used a TomTom satnav to plan their trips to Devon and Sussex and enables detectives to link their movements to the burglaries. The gang were all Lithuanians who had moved to East London to work in the building trade but turned to crime. They burgled 23 homes in Devon and 16 in Sussex.
