was told by the judge that he must serve at least half of his jail sentence
before been considered for release.

building in Wheaton, Illinois, USA, on August 1, 2015, after which he left
behind a glove containing traces of his DNA at the scene.
The 22 years sentence might seem like too heavy a punishment for such a crime, however, Bramwell is facing such severe sentence due to his long criminal history, one of them being alleged theft from other apartments in the area.

"Mr Bramwell’s
illegal activity and his history have finally caught up with
him," state attorney Robert Berlin said.
"Regardless of
what was stolen, Mr Bramwell repeatedly thumbed his nose at the law.
"He took what he wanted, time and time again, and expected to avoid the
consequences. "That’s not how it works, as Mr Bramwell has now found
out."
