Land Rover thieves who targeted farms in Keswick jailed

JAIL sentences have been handed to four men brought to justice after police targeted criminals involved in rural crime across Cumbria, often targeting high-value vehicles.

The crime group's targets included Land Rovers and a £35,000 motor-home, stolen from the owner's driveway in Portinscale village, near Keswick.

At Carlisle Crown Court today, a judge sentenced four men for their roles in the offending, much of which happened in the Keswick area.

Chief among them was 33-year-old Patrick Young, formerly of Firlands, Stanwix, who repeatedly attempted to sell on the vehicles he stole in the north-east.
