Jail for burglar who broke into Slug and Lettuce in Sheffield and fled from police in stolen car

Sheffield Crown Court heard on September 1 how Dominik Kroscen, aged 20, burgled a room at The Prince of Wales Hotel, in Rotherham, and months later burgled the Slug and Lettuce pub, in Sheffield, and stole a car sparking a police pursuit.

Prosecuting barrister Harry Crowson said Kroscen stole a phone and wallet from a resident’s room at The Prince of Wales Hotel and stole car keys from the Slug and Lettuce and the key owner’s Nissan Micra which was parked nearby.

Mr Crowson added police spotted the stolen Nissan Micra being driven by Kroscen on Fenton Road, in Rotherham, and he reached speeds of 90mph, went through multiple red traffic lights and crashed into a lamppost near Meadowhall before he fled on foot but was found by a police dog.
