A burglar has been jailed for invading an Ipswich property and stealing a car from the driveway, during lockdown, while a mother and son were asleep upstairs.
Marcus McKenzie entered an address in Carlyle Close through an unlocked door on April 17 last year and stole valuables including a 50-inch television and the keys to a Ford Focus, which he stole from the driveway and was later recovered in an undriveable condition.
The 30-year-old eventually confessed to the burglary, as well as a string of other offences, including the theft of a British Legion Poppy Appeal charity box three weeks before Remembrance Day the previous year.
