US EditionMan sentenced after trying to break into Anya Taylor-Joy's bedroom during burglary
Kirk Holdrick received an additional three-year sentence after attempting to break into Anya Taylor-Joy's bedroom, with prosecutors suggesting the raid targeted the celebrity personally.
- Woolwich Crown Court handed Kirk Holdrick, 43, a three-year sentence on Dec. 12 for the London burglary involving actress Anya Taylor-Joy.
- Prosecutors wrote in sentencing documents that they believe the raid targeted the celebrity occupants, as the burglars headed for the bedroom rather than valuables, suggesting a deliberate target of Taylor-Joy and her husband.
- Forensic investigators found DNA on the back door and shoe prints outside the bedroom door linked to Kirk Holdrick, who was arrested on April 18, 2023.
- The CPS argued the case should proceed because the couple told police they were traumatised and feared being targeted again in the future.
- The follow-up Sandbanks raid yielded about 200,000 and left a trail of DNA linking suspects, including Ashley Fulton, to the scene.
