A MAN who burgled his girlfriend's grandmother's house was today starting a two-year jail term.
Stephen Bennett later took his girlfriend's keys to a house where she worked as a cleaner and stole a valuable computer system.
Bennett, aged 23, of Masefield Drive, Farnworth, appeared at Bolton Crown Court yesterday for sentence for two burglaries.
Vanessa Thompson, prosecuting, said Bennett broke into his girlfriend's grandmother's home and took a vacuum cleaner and a video recorder.
He got in by smashing a front window but police traced him through fingerprints found at the scene.
The court was told that he also took his girlfriend's key fob which had the house key of a family she cleaned for.
Police could find no evidence of a forced entry to the house and a computer system worth £1,400 was taken and never recovered. A MAN who burgled the home of his girlfriend's grandmother was today starting a two-year jail term.
