Two brothers who carried out a series of burglaries across the East Midlands and Wales have been jailed for a combined total of more than 12 years.
Daniel Casey, known as Danny, and his younger brother Terrence targeted dozens of homes between October 2024 and February 2025, stealing cars, cash and jewellery and leaving widespread damage in their wake.

Daniel Casey, 34, was linked to a string of burglaries beginning on 3 October 2024, when four properties were broken into in Birstall, Loughborough and Mountsorrel. Items stolen during those early offences included a Toyota Yaris, a drone, cash and jewellery, with several homes damaged as entry was forced.
Over the following weeks, homes in Leicester, Oadby, Whetstone and Hinckley were targeted in similar fashion. In January 2025, Daniel and Terrence Casey, 26, began working together, committing further burglaries in Mountsorrel and Melton Mowbray before moving beyond the county into Lincolnshire.
Later that month, the brothers travelled to Wales, where six homes were burgled across Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. They then returned to the East Midlands, targeting properties in Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire, and Newark.
In total, the pair were linked to 37 offences across multiple regions.
The brothers were due to stand trial at Leicester Crown Court in November last year, but both admitted their involvement. Daniel Casey pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy to burgle and two counts of breaching a Serious Crime Prevention Order. Terrence Casey admitted two counts of conspiracy to burgle.
On Tuesday (20 January), Daniel Casey, of Golf Course Lane, Leicester, was sentenced to 112 months in prison. Terrence Casey, from the same address, received a 42-month sentence. Both men were also handed new Serious Crime Prevention Orders, which will take effect upon their release.
Detective Inspector Ed Prowse, the senior investigating officer, said the scale of the offending had caused significant harm across multiple communities.
“These offences weren’t isolated incidents – they formed a sustained pattern of criminal behaviour that affected people in their own homes, where they should feel safest,” he said.
“Being burgled can leave lasting emotional and financial impacts. The disruption, fear and distress experienced by victims goes far beyond the value of what was taken.”
He added: “I hope today’s sentences provide reassurance to the many communities affected that those responsible have been held accountable, and that this outcome helps victims feel some sense of closure.”
Advice on protecting homes and vehicles from theft is available through local crime prevention services.
