A serial burglar who stole more than £800,000 worth of high end products was tracked down by police with the assistance of an Apple AirTag left in a stolen suitcase.

Mari Dinjaku, 38, was traced to his home in Wokingham, Berkshire, by the electronic tag which was attached to a distinct lime green suitcase that had been taken during a burglary 15 miles away in Woking, Surrey.

After being arrested, officers found a number of stolen designer clothing, handbags and high value jewellery linked to a series of burglaries in Dinjaku’s home on Munro Avenue.
