Father and son sentenced for burglary of local
Churches
MERSEYSIDE Police have welcomed the
outcome of an investigation into the burglaries at 2 Churches in the Southport
and Ainsdale area. On Friday 13 January 2017, Liverpool Crown Court heard that
the father and son team had pleaded guilty to 2 charges of burglary. Police also
asked that 13 like offences be taken into consideration before the sentencing
ruling was issued that:- Gregory Hawkshaw, 45, of no fixed abode, should serve 4
years in prison and Daniel Hawkshaw, 22, from Southport, should serve 3 years
and 3 months in prison. Detective Inspector Robbie Moss said:- "This is
clearly a despicable series of crimes targeting the very heart of what should be
considered locations of respect and sanctuary, stealing from the people who
strive to help and support some of the most vulnerable in our community. We will
continue to target those that are intent on victimising the vulnerable. This
shows that we will act and I encourage anyone with information on any crime to
tell us so that we can take positive action." |
