FOUR people have been sentenced, including three from Reading, following a series of thefts.

Frenny Green, aged 53, Jady Green aged 49, and Simon Lopez, aged 40, all of Royal Avenue, Calcot, were among four jailed following a sentencing hearing at Reading Crown Court on Friday, January 27.

A fourth, Dale Northcote, aged 32 and of Westfield Road, Witney, was also jailed.

The sentences are in relation to a number of offences that took place between March 2018 and November 2019.

These included multiple thefts of Transit vans and their contents or parts across the south of England and into Wales.

Frenny Green pleaded guilty to charges of one count of conspiring to commit theft offences, one count of attempted theft, and one count of burglary.

Investigating officer, Detective Inspector Alice Broad, said: “This was a long-running investigation which was run over a year.

“The offenders carried out targeted sophisticated attacks involving travel across the South of England, ultimately affecting the lives of more than 40 victims.

“Our investigation has led to three of these men being taken off the streets, and though a lot of our work is not visible, this is an example of the end result of such investigations.

“Thames Valley Police does not tolerate such offending and will work tirelessly to pursue offenders.

“Information from the public is always vital and the smallest piece of information could help significantly.

“We would urge you to report it to us, either via our website, or by calling 101.

“For anonymity, you can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
