BURGLARY: Peter Eveson broke into a home just yards from his dads property

BURGLAR Peter Eveson broke into a home just yards from his dads property only to deny it was anything to with him when his father became suspicious.

The 39-year-old targeted the house in the same Meir street as his relatives before going round an hour later.

But he became agitated when his dad called the police after hearing an alarm and discovering the patio doors at a neighbouring property had been smashed.

Eveson, above, insisted he was innocent telling his father he would not commit such a crime on his doorstep.

But he later admitted the burglary and has now been jailed for 876 days at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court.

Prosecutor Neil Ahuja said the victim left his house in Penfleet Avenue, Meir, secure on the afternoon of November 27.

But when his mum visited to feed the cat at 3.45pm she found the glass door had been broken. She then noticed Beatrice Potter figures had been stolen and called the police.

A cordless telephone, jewellery and earrings were also taken in the raid.

Eveson had visited his fathers house at 3.30pm but left when he discovered he was not there. But at 5pm the defendant returned to his dads home.
