Last member of prolific Canterbury burglary ring jailed
A 22-year-old man who was a member of a six-person burglary ring has been jailed for two years and nine months after the group targeted 110 houses in Canterbury.
Tyson Red Gray pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court in June to 24 charges. The charges include 12 counts of burglary, participating in an organised criminal group, two counts of theft, four charges of unlawfully using a document, theft of a motor vehicle, receiving stolen goods and unlawfully getting into a motor vehicle.
The group involving Gray, all between the ages of 19 and 26 at the time, burgled houses in Christchurch, Prebbleton and Kaiapoi. The other five members have all been convicted.
