A brazen burglar got caught red-handed just hours after smashing his way into a jewellery shop – because he was still wearing the stolen watches on his wrist and dressed exactly like the CCTV footage showed.
Kieron Millin’s Big Blunder
43-year-old Kieron Millin struck early on 12 February at a Market Street store in Sutton-in-Ashfield. Police spotted the unique watches on his wrist and instantly connected the dots. His clothes matched the CCTV footage perfectly.
When questioned, Millin played dumb, sneering, “What burglary?” — even though police found piles of jewellery stuffed in his pockets.
High-Speed Smash-and-Grab
- CCTV caught Millin smashing a window and toppling a display case.
- He snatched watches and jewellery worth over £10,000 in under a minute.
- While trying to escape the same way, he tripped grabbing a dropped item.
- He even flung the stolen piece back through the broken window before legging it on foot.
Police Nab Millin with Stolen Loot in Hand
Millin’s choice to flaunt the stolen watches was his undoing. Officers quickly searched him, recovered the loot, and nailed the thief. He now faces charges as police prepare to return the pricey jewellery to its rightful owners.
