Swift justice after restaurant burglary in Cambridge

A man was jailed on Friday for burgling a Cambridge pizza restaurant the day before.

CCTV operators spotted Jordan Earwaker and Jade Trickett trying to open the front door of the Market Hill restaurant in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The pair peered inside before Earwaker climbed in through a window and handed Trickett a till drawer.

The surveillance team contacted police and followed them until officers caught up with them.

The two men, both 29 and of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to burglary at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Friday (February 12).

Earwaker was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison. Trickett is due to be sentenced at a later date.

Detective Sergeant James Rabbett said: “The swift arrest and charge of these two was as a result of great work between the CCTV operators and police.”
