A burglar has been jailed for four years following a burglary last year.
Lee Mark Akhurst, 39, of Wilbury Way, in Edmonton, pleaded guilty to burglary after breaking into the home of an elderly man who had been in hospital following a fall.
Akhurst went to the home, in Princes Avenue, Palmers Green, between November 13, and 20.
Akhurst was forensically linked to the offence after blood was found on a brick used to smash the glass door.
Nothing was found to be stolen from the home.
Detective Sergeant Alan Dawson, from Enfield’s pro-active crime unit, said: “This is a great court result. The offence of burglary has a painful and long lasting effect upon its victims.
“Local residents can be assured that Enfield Police will put fear into burglary offenders operating in the area, arrest them and bring them before the courts."
