Two burglars have been sentenced in court after items, including a trumpet, were stolen from Peterborough Town Hall.

Carina Cunningham, 38, was involved in three burglaries at the Town Hall in Bridge Street, overnight, from April 28-29.

CCTV footage caught Cunningham, of no fixed address, stand outside the building while William Fletcher, 41, entered the building and returned a short while later with a TV under his arm.

The pair returned twice more that night, stealing a laptop, two flat screen TVs and a trumpet. 

Cunningham failed to attend court on September 9 and was later arrested out of the county. She was sentenced to four months in prison after admitting three counts of non-dwelling burglary at Peterborough Magistrates' Court on Friday (September 20). 

Fletcher, of no fixed address, appeared at the same court on June 27 where he admitted three counts of non-dwelling burglary. 

He was ordered to pay £300 in compensation and sentenced to a two-year community order consisting of a six-month drug rehabilitation requirement and a 15-day rehabilitation activity requirement. 

However, on July 30, he was jailed for six weeks after being arrested for new offences and breaching the community order. 

PC Yeli Zaicevs, who investigated, said: "Thanks to our eagle-eyed CCTV operators, we were able to quickly identify and arrest those involved."
