Muhedur Minto Khan, aged 45, was sentenced to eight months in prison after breaking into the Prince of Peckham pub on Clayton Road in June 2024. During the burglary, Khan stole clothing and drinks valued at £2,290.
Khan pleaded guilty to the charges at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on 12 June 2024. The court confirmed that his new sentence will run concurrently with a previous jail term he is serving for a burglary in the City of London. In that earlier incident, laptops and electronic devices worth £5,500 were stolen.
The theft at the Prince of Peckham pub caused disruption to the local business and drew police attention to ongoing crime issues in the area. The removal of valuable stock during the incident heightened concerns for nearby premises and their security.
During the hearing at Croydon Magistrates’ Court, Khan admitted the burglary charges. The judge imposed an eight-month sentence that reflected Khan’s persistent offending record.
Khan was already serving time for a ‘Home Alone-style’ break-in in the City of London, where £5,500 worth of laptops and devices were stolen. This linked him to multiple burglaries across London.
The police clampdown continues as authorities aim to hold Khan accountable for his repeated crimes. Police remain focused on reducing burglaries in vulnerable locations across the capital to protect local businesses and communities.
