Three members of a gang of burglars, who broke into properties in mid and east Devon, have been jailed by Exeter Crown Court.
The Lithuanian men, based in east London, were caught after police noticed 23 similar break-ins across Devon, which all involved snapping UPVC door locks.
They turned out to be part of an organised gang travelling the country committing similar offences.
They were found guilty by the court and jailed for a total of 21 years.
