Chilean trio jailed after flying 7,500 miles to burgle posh Lymm home

Rosa Dotes-Perez, Francisca Munoz Santana and Jean Paul Pizarro-Carrasco helped themselves to the contents of the house – worth around £3.25million – while its owners were on holiday.

Thankfully, the car the trio were driving was pulled over by police who discovered what they had done and brought them to justice.

Chester Crown Court heard on Monday, August 7, how the three will be deported back to South America once they serve their inevitable prison sentence in the UK.

Prosecutor Joshua Sanderson-Kirk told the court how police on patrol stopped the car being driven by the defendants due to it bearing a false registration plate.

This contained jewellery, cash and handbags to the value of between approximately £10,000 and £15,000.

The two female defendants – Dotes-Perez, aged 33, and Santana, aged 19 – tried to make off from the vehicle, driven by Pizarro-Carrasco, aged 32, before being detained by officers.

Documents recovered linked the items to a home on Lakeside Road in Lymm, which was burgled by the women in the early hours of Friday, June 2.

The street, which overlooks Lymm Dam, is something of a ‘millionaire’s row’, having a number of homes valued at more than a million pounds.

The trio were taken into custody where they were interviewed by detectives from Cheshire Police’s Warrington Proactive Policing Team, and later charged with burglary.

All three pleaded guilty to the charge when they appeared before Crewe Magistrates’ Court the day following the burglary, Saturday, June 3.

They were remanded in custody to appear at Chester Crown Court for sentence last Monday.

Dotes-Perez and Pizarro-Carrasco were both sentenced by judge Simon Berkson to 20 months in jail, while Santana was imprisoned for 16 months.

Each, all of no fixed abode, but from Chile, were also ordered to pay a surcharge to fund victim services of £187 on their release from incarceration.
