Police launched an investigation in August 2023 following several burglaries targeting high value cars across Greater Manchester, Cheshire, and Derbyshire, identifying Keegan as a potential suspect.
A search of his garage found lock-picking sets, blank car keys, a spy camera, a sledgehammer, a blow torch, replacement footwear, clothing, an axe, and several Apple Air Tag tracking devices.
He used a variety of methods to steal the cars, “but each were intrusive and left victims feeling uneasy in their own homes”, GMP said.
During one of this crimes in Knutsford in May 2023, Keegan was disturbed by an alarm in the early hours of the morning.
In a rush to leave, he left behind a radio frequency jammer, identical to the one seized from Keegan on his arrest.
