A 38-year-old Kidlington man has been jailed for 10 years for his part in 35 burglaries in London, Surrey, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

Michael Henge, of Oak View Park near Arncott, worked with his girlfriend at the time Bridget Todd, from Royal Lane, Uxbridge, often targeting elderly and vulnerable victims who lived alone or in isolated areas.

Todd was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison at Reading Crown Court yesterday.

A 13-year-old boy, from Royal Lane, Uxbridge, was also given a 14-month sentence.
