Chileans jailed in UK for ‘tourism burglary’ spree after targeting goalkeeper’s home

Jorge Pinto Vallejos and Jamie Duarte Vera were caught after targeting the home of Polish professional footballer Tomasz Kuszczak for a second time.

Two men who stole thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and watches from homes, including one belonging to a former Manchester United goalkeeper, in a “tourism burglary” spree have been jailed in the UK.

Jorge Pinto Vallejos, 27, and Jamie Duarte Vera, 40, both from Chile, were jailed for three years and eight months and three years and four months respectively, for their roles in an organised crime group which ransacked houses in Alderley Edge and Prestbury in Cheshire in the weeks running up to Christmas last year.
