A CAREER burglar left a family devastated when he broke into their Royal Wootton Bassett home and swiped the keys to their 66-plate Mercedes.
Frankie O’Dwyer, 20, later filmed himself speeding in the expensive car and uploaded the footage to social media site Snapchat. The vehicle was recovered in Slough.
He was jailed for three years and nine months on Tuesday after admitting burglary and theft. He asked for 15 other offences to be taken into consideration.
In a victim statement read to Swindon Crown Court, the homeowner said the break-in at her home in Westbury Park had destroyed her and her life would never be the same again.
