13. Locked up in Sussex: These are some of the criminals jailed in October
A man has been jailed after police said they found his DNA at the scene of a burglary in Hastings. Officers attended Cafe Royale in Castle Street following a break-in in the early hours of the morning on September 7. Police said entry had been forced into the premises causing damage to a door, and the till and tip box containing around £300 taken from inside. Police added that they viewed the cafe’s CCTV and saw a man entering the site with a carton of milk, which he put down while trying to remove the till, and then left behind at the scene. The bottle was forensically examined and proved a DNA match for Jake Finn, 22, unemployed, of Dymchurch Road in Hythe, Kent, Sussex Police said. Finn was then arrested and charged with burglary other than dwelling with intent to steal. Police said he was also charged with two counts of theft in relation to alcohol being stolen from the Jempson’s supermarket in Peasmarsh on September 10. He appeared before Brighton Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, October 8 and was convicted of all three offences. Police said he was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison for the burglary, and one week for each shoplifting offence to run concurrently. He was also ordered to pay £300 in compensation.
