Brothers jailed for burgling homes

Two brothers who stole cars, cash and jewellery from homes all across the country including in Hinckley and Loughborough have been jailed.

Daniel Casey – known as Danny – was linked to scores of burglaries between October 2024 and January 2025.

On 3rd October 2024, he burgled four properties: two in Birstall, one in Loughborough and one in Mountsorrel.  During these incidents a Toyota Yaris, drone cash and jewellery were taken. 

Days later he also targeted homes in Leicester, Oadby, Whetstone and Hinckley stealing similar items. 

His younger sibling Terrence Casey was linked to several incidents in January and February 2025.

In January 2025, Daniel and Terrence then turned their attention to properties in Mountsorrel and Melton Mowbray before moving out of the county and burgling homes in Lincolnshire.

Later that month, they moved to Wales and burgled a total of six addresses in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire before stealing from three properties in Cotgrave in Nottinghamshire and one address in Newark.

Officers from Leicestershire teamed up with colleagues working for Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Dyfed-Powys Police to share information about each incident and identified that either one of or both the brothers could be linked to a total of 37 offences across all areas.

On 11 November 2025, the pair were due to stand trial at Leicester Crown Court, but 34-year-old Daniel pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy to burgle and two counts of breaching a serious Crime Prevention Order.

Terrence, 26, pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to burgle.

On Tuesday 20 January, at the same court, Daniel, of Golf Course Lane, Leicester was sentenced to a total of 112 months’ imprisonment.

Terrence, also of Golf Course Lane, was sentenced to 42 months.

The brothers were also issued with Serious Crime Prevention Orders, which will come into effect once they are released from prison.

Detective Inspector Ed Prowse was the senior investigating officer. He said: “The brothers are career criminals who simply don’t care about the harm they’ve caused to the general public.

“Their crimes were committed simply for nothing more than their own financial gain. They’ve admitted their guilt because the evidence against them was overwhelming. They knew they had no option to plead guilty.

“We know just how much impact being a victim of burglary can have on people and the feeling a stranger has entered your home and taken your possessions is something no-one should have to go through.

“I hope today’s outcome will provide some reassurance to communities across Leicester, Leicestershire, Rutland and the wider UK that two people intent on causing harm have been brought to justice and are now facing the consequences of their criminality.”
