Gordon McKay, aged 41, of Heath End Road, Flackwell Heath, was sentenced to three years, a month and two weeks after pleading guilty to one count each of fraud by false representation and burglary at Aylesbury Crown Court on Tuesday (13/12).
On 15 August 2020, McKay used bankcards at various petrol stations that were stolen from an address in Mill End Road, High Wycombe, the day before.
Then, on 2nd August 2021, a woman in her sixties arrived home and found someone in her property on Highlea Avenue, Flackwell Heath.
The victim went into her house and could hear someone upstairs, she shouted and McKay jumped out of a window into the garden.
The victim took a photo of him walking down the side of her house before he made off on a bicycle.
McKay was arrested on the same day and charged on 4 August last year, following an identification procedure.
Investigating officer PC Alistair Rokas, of the Priority Crime Team based at High Wycombe police station, said: “The conviction of Gordon McKay was the direct result of the support of the victim and of the diligent and positive investigation by High Wycombe’s Priority Crime Team.
“McKay is a habitual career criminal and the sentence handed down by the court rightly reflects the criminality he perpetuates.”
