A burglar who was part of a gang which raided an elderly Knottingley couples' home and who later assaulted four police officers has been jailed.

Leeds Crown Court heard Jake Mason and three accomplices got into the pensioners’ bungalow as the couple slept in the early hours of July 6 last year.

Prosecutor, Heather Gilmore said 21-year-old Mason took the keys to a Ford Ka from the bungalow on Belvoir Drive.
