Men stole £12k of Ann Summers lingerie and sex toys
Police recovered £12,059 of stolen Ann Summers products and linked Kamal to a separate Arnold burglary involving about £13,000 in electronics.
On Thursday, Nottingham Crown Court sentenced Jason Kamal, 48, to three years' custody and Ashley Hillsley, 21, to a community order for the Ann Summers burglary on August 14.
Police arrested the pair within three minutes of a 4:32am burglary report after they smashed a window at the Ann Summers store in Long Row, Nottingham, and fled with £12,059 in goods.
Kamal was linked to an earlier burglary at Professional Mobile in Arnold on July 28, where he left a vape bearing his DNA and was found using a phone stolen from the store.
Hillsley claimed he was 'bullied into the burglary' and acted as lookout after being promised a large sum of money and told he would no longer be 'a nobody.'
Chief Inspector Kylie Davies of Nottinghamshire Police called them 'not mastermind criminals,' stating that evidence left them with 'no other option than to plead guilty' in court.
