🚨Two burglars busted in West Wales! Mikael Boukhari and Simon Dickey got nabbed after stealing £45,000 worth of golf gear in a late-night raid. Their van was packed with stolen goods, cash, and tools like a sledgehammer and angle grinder. Despite using fake names and a different reg plate to dodge capture, they couldn’t escape the long arm of the law! 🚔
The dynamic duo set off from Newport, making their way to Haverfordwest Golf Club. They caused thousands in damages while making off with golf clubs, cash, and even a simulator. But their luck ran out when vigilant officers, tipped off by an alarm and clever ANPR camera work, caught them speeding towards Carmarthen Golf Club.
Boukhari and Dickey, both well-acquainted with law enforcement due to their extensive criminal records, now face jail time. Boukhari blamed financial woes from organising music events for his involvement, while Dickey’s history of substance misuse and personal troubles were also brought to light in court. Regardless of their reasons, the judge handed Boukhari 2.5 years, and Dickey 2 years and 8 months behind bars. 📜🔒
Justice served in Wales, with a cautionary tale about the consequences of criminal activity. Golf clubs can sleep a little easier tonight! 🏌️♂️🌌
