Serial Burglar Who Targeted Watford Homes Jailed for Five Years
A burglar who carried out a string of high-value break-ins across Hertfordshire has been jailed for five years.
Edmond Lleshe, aged 43, of Topper Street, Cambridge, appeared before St Albans Crown Court today (Friday, 25 July) where he was sentenced after being found guilty of:
- Three counts of burglary dwelling and theft
- One count of going equipped to steal
The court heard that Lleshe committed the offences between January and February 2025, targeting residential properties in Kings Langley, Watford, and Hemel Hempstead. He stole designer watches, jewellery, and other high-value items during the raids.
Detective Statement
Detective Constable Georgia Boyle, of Watford Local Crime Unit, said:
“We’re pleased to see Lleshe sentenced for his crimes today.
We know that burglary can have a far-reaching and devastating impact on its victims, and we hope that those affected by Lleshe’s criminality can close this chapter now that he’s behind bars.
My colleagues and I will always do our very best to capture and bring to justice those who choose to steal from others. Burglary will never be tolerated in Hertfordshire.”
