A BURGLAR ‘ransacked’ his pregnant ex-girlfriend’s home after the breakdown of their relationship.
Nathan Frazer, who was previously jailed for storming a flat and threatening the occupants with a machete and a hammer, broke into the address on Liverpool Road in Sankey Bridges before pouring soup around the kitchen and squirting shower gel over the bathroom.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that the 27-year-old entered his former girlfriend’s house by forcing the patio door in November last year as she was in the process of moving home.
She discovered the break-in the following day, finding that a hockey stick had been stolen.
Frazer then texted his expectant victim confessing to his actions before handing himself into the police.
He told officers that he had been living in a tent and initially went to the property in order to retrieve his belongings.
But the serial offender went on the rampage after his ‘head fell off’ – pulling down lighting and ceiling panels, taking a tin of soup from the kitchen cupboard and pouring it over the worktop and covering the bathroom in shower gel as well attempting to enter the loft.
Frazer, of no fixed address, has 31 previous convictions for 38 offences – including three burglaries between 2009 and 2011.
He was also jailed for seven-and-a-half years in January this year after pleading guilty to aggravated burglary.
The defendant was one of three men who burst into an apartment on Whitethroat Walk in Birchwood late on a Friday night in December 2021 while armed and wearing balaclavas.
This trio then threatened the couple inside with the weapons and stole computer games before playing.
Frazer committed the offence after being released on bail over the Liverpool Road incident, for which he admitted burglary.
Appearing via video link to HMP Altcourse, he was handed another year in prison – to be served consecutively with his current jail term.
Sentencing, judge Stuart Driver said: “You are to be sentenced for a burglary of an unusual kind.
“You deliberately targeted your ex-partner’s home as a way of hurting her, and once you got inside it you absolutely ransacked the place.
“The case is aggravated by your criminal record – a substantial record including previous for burglary and harassment.”
Frazer was also told to pay a victim surcharge.
