A fame-hungry burglar who filmed himself raiding homes and stole £300,000-worth of cars has been jailed for nine years. Liam Moore, 20, posted his break-ins on Snapchat as he burned and snapped locks and also took pictures of the cars he had taken.
He was arrested in October 2023 after dozens of homes were burgled across Birmingham and Solihull. Phone analysis linked him to 13 burglaries and 14 car thefts. His search history also revealed he had looked up the cars he was looking to steal.
Moore denied 13 burglaries and 14 theft of motor vehicles that happened between August 13 and October 7, 2023 but changed his plea to guilty on the second day of his trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
Det Sgt Charlie Edwards, from Solihull Police, said: “I’m so glad Moore has finally been served the justice he deserves for what he has done. Moore was that confident he wouldn’t get caught. He would film himself breaking into people’s homes and take photos of the cars he was stealing. Moore would also refer to the crimes he was committing as ‘grafting’ which is such an insult to the hard-working people he was stealing from. We worked really hard to ensure he was held accountable for his actions and I’m glad that he will now spend the next few years in prison.”
