Finlay was charged with seven counts of conspiracy to commit burglary between December 17-19, 2022.
Kawley was charged with 19 counts of conspiracy to commit burglary between October 6 and December 19, 2022.

"Tackling this crime type is one of our Force priorities and we work closely with our local Safer Neighbourhood Teams, intelligence teams and cross border resources to investigate burglaries across the county."
