Two men who burgled homes across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and multiple counties in England have been jailed after a cross‑force investigation linked them to 37 offences. Daniel “Danny” Casey, 34, and his brother Terrence, 26, stole cars, cash and jewellery during a series of break‑ins between October 2024 and February 2025.
Daniel began the spree on 3 October 2024, forcing his way into four homes in Birstall, Loughborough and Mountsorrel. Over the following days he struck again in Leicester, Oadby, Whetstone and Hinckley, taking vehicles and valuables before moving on to the next address.
By January 2025, the brothers had widened their reach, targeting homes in Mountsorrel and Melton Mowbray before moving into Lincolnshire. Later that month they travelled to Wales, where they burgled six properties across Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire. They then returned east, stealing from homes in Cotgrave and Newark.
Cross‑force investigation links 37 offences
Officers from Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Dyfed‑Powys Police shared intelligence and identified the pair as suspects in dozens of linked burglaries. Both men were due to stand trial at Leicester Crown Court in November 2025 but pleaded guilty after what investigators described as overwhelming evidence.
Daniel admitted three counts of conspiracy to burgle and two breaches of a Serious Crime Prevention Order. Terrence admitted two counts of conspiracy to burgle.
At Leicester Crown Court on Tuesday 20 January, Daniel Casey, of Golf Course Lane, Leicester, was jailed for 112 months. Terrence Casey, also of Golf Course Lane, received 42 months. Both will be subject to Serious Crime Prevention Orders upon release.
Detective Inspector Ed Prowse, Leicestershire Police, said the pair were “career criminals” who showed no regard for the people they targeted.
“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.”
Dyfed‑Powys Police welcome outcome
Detective Inspector Sarah Totterdale, Dyfed‑Powys Police, said the case showed the strength of cross‑border policing.
“This result sends a clear message that we will relentlessly pursue those who come into our communities to commit crime. These offenders caused significant distress to victims, and I hope this outcome brings them reassurance.
“We are committed to targeting travelling criminals and will continue to work closely with partner agencies and forces across England and Wales to identify, arrest and bring these offenders to justice.”
