Man who burgled surveillence and security business in Boston - as cameras recorded every move - jailed (VIDEO)

Brian Dockerty, 57, of Marsh Lane, Boston, appeared at Lincoln Magistrates’ Court last month in relation to the offence at Surveillance and Security Stores, in Horncastle Road, on April 12.

He also faced a number of other charges, including one of assault for throwing his shoes at a police constable in June.

In footage shared with The Standard by Surveillance and Security Stores, Dockerty can be seen entering the premises through a broken pane of glass in the door. This was damaged the previous night and led to court action against a separate individual.

Once inside, he can be seen examining numerous boxes, before leaving with two stashed in his jacket.

Dockerty would go on to be charged with entering the building as a trespasser and stealing a doorbell and a gate alarm to the approximate value of £3.99.

The other charges put to him were:

• At Boston, on June 3, attempted to steal two legs of lamb to an unknown value from Aldi.
• At Boston, on June 9, stole three bottles of perfume to the value of £322 from Superdrug.
• At Boston, on June 10, attempted to steal a packet of razor blades and a Braun beard trimmer to the value of £70 from Boots.
• At Boston, on June 10, assaulted a police constable in the execution of their duty by spitting on them, causing spit to land on their trousers.
• At Boston, on June 10, assaulted a police constable by throwing his shoes at them, causing said shoes to hit them in the shin, causing no injury.
• At Boston, between June 3 and June 10, without reasonable excuse, entered a premises in breach of a criminal behaviour order made by Lincoln Magistrates' Court on May 26, 2025 – three counts.

Guilty pleas were given or indicated for all charges.

For each offence, Dockerty was committed to prison for terms of either one month, two months or six months, to run concurrently, giving him a total custodial sentence of six months.
