Prolific Brighton burglar faces sentence

A prolific burglar from Brighton is due to be sentenced by a crown court judge next month.

Oliver Pierce, 33, of Brentwood Road, Brighton, pleaded guilty to burgling two homes and trying to burgle another when he appeared at Lewes Crown Court on Friday (15 August).

Judge Mark Van Der Zwart remanded him in custody to be sentenced on Wednesday 3 September.

Sussex Police said today (Wednesday 20 August): “A man has been convicted of a string of offences following an investigation by the Brighton and Hove Burglary Team.

“Oliver Pierce burgled two homes and attempted to burgle a third home in Hollingbury Rise, Brighton, on Monday 14 July.

“He was also found to be in possession of two class B drugs – cannabis and ketamine – at his home address on Thursday 17 July.

“The 33-year-old, of Brentwood Road, Brighton, was arrested and charged with the offences, all of which he pleaded guilty to at Lewes Crown Court on Friday 15 August.

“He has been remanded in custody for sentencing at the same court on Wednesday 3 September.”

    Nice to hear Sussex police actually doing something about burglaries for once. You’d be forgiven for thinking all they care about is traffic fines

    He doesn’t look any different from 2016 when he was wanted on recall to prison
