Man sentenced for aggravated burglary and other offences in Aylesbury

A man has been sentenced for aggravated burglary and other offences in Aylesbury.

Jason Grange, aged 32, of no fixed abode, pleaded guilty to one count each of aggravated burglary, attempted robbery and criminal damage at Aylesbury Crown Court on Wednesday (23/10) and was sentenced to eight years and three months’ imprisonment.

At around midday on 26 December last year, Grange along with others attended a property on Brimstone Lane in a dispute over a dog. During the exchange, Grange smashed a window pane in the front door with a hammer and demanded the victim, a man in his twenties, handed over the dog.

The victim opened the door to allow one of the offenders to take the dog. After one of the offenders left, Grange held up a hammer to the victim and gestured to the victim’s own dog that he was going to take that dog as well. The victim managed to push Grange out of the address and close the door.

The second incident occurred on the same day at the same property.

At around 10.30pm, the occupants of the property heard a ground floor window smash and a number of offenders enter the property. The victim was then confronted by the offenders, including Grange, who threatened him with violence, before slashing at him with a knife and a hammer causing cuts.

The offenders stole watches and house keys and also smashed a television.

Grange was arrested on 18 January and was charged the following day.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Emily King, part of Aylesbury’s Priority Crime Team, said: “Burglary is an offence that greatly affects our communities and can be extremely distressing for victims, and I am pleased that Grange has been brought to justice so the victim can now have closure.

“This conviction and sentence reflects the severity and seriousness with which these offences are taken, and is a warning that these type of offences will not be tolerated.

“I would like to specifically thank Detective Constable Daniel Page and PCT Crime Co-ordinator Jim Forrest for their help on the investigation as they were instrumental in the bringing Grange to justice.”
