3 Jul
Summary
- House sitter jailed for five years for stealing valuables.
- Over £35,000 worth of jewelry was stolen and replaced with fakes.
- The offender funded a lavish lifestyle with the stolen items.
A woman identified as Ariana Rose, aged 40, has been sentenced to five years in prison for a series of thefts committed while house sitting. Rose targeted properties in Shipston-on-Stour and Southam, Warwickshire, during 2025. She stole valuable items, including jewelry exceeding £35,000, and replaced them with counterfeit versions to conceal her crimes.
Her actions funded what investigators described as a lavish lifestyle. Beyond jewelry, Rose also stole items like a Le Creuset pan and decorative ornaments. When arrested in November, some stolen goods were recovered, and a search of her home revealed further property taken from homeowners across the UK. She faced charges including theft, fraud, and perverting the course of justice, and was ordered to pay over £65,000 in compensation.
