"On the evening of February 7 this year, Buisson, 56, travelled to Bluewater shopping centre in Dartford in a Mercedes GLA using cloned number plates with a criminal associate, Kent Police said. Just after 7pm, Buisson, wearing a facemask, used a telescopic ladder to access the roof and broke into the building by cutting a hole in the ceiling of the shopping centre, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said."
"An alarm had activated during the burglary, so staff alerted Kent Police as soon as they returned to the shopping centre. Specialist detectives managed to track the getaway car and Buisson's movements through CCTV footage and mobile data despite the cloned number plates, the CPS said. This led to a Vauxhall Corsa belonging to Buisson, who was arrested on February 12 in Cumbria."
