Police have said they hope an 11-year jail term for a burglar who raided his aunt s home when she was at her son s funeral will deter other criminals.
Ipswich Crown Court heard how Levi Hilden, 36, committed a string of offences between December 31, 2018, and January 8, 2020, which also included an armed robbery with another man where £25,000 worth of jewellery was stolen.
The court heard how Hilden, of Birkfield Drive, Ipswich, burgled his aunt s home in Meadowlands, Kirton, on New Year s Eve on 2018 knowing that the house would be empty.
