"He's changed our lives forever" - that's what a burglary victim has told a court after a career criminal broke into her family's home whilst they were asleep.
38-year-old John Johnson targeted three houses in Douglas between September and November last year - at Douglas Courthouse last week he was jailed for seven and a half years.
Statements from the victims revealed the consequences of his "cruel and ruthless" crimes - saying they worry "each night that it will happen again" and it's left them feeling "vulnerable".
It's something Detective Constable Sam Cannell empathises with:
He says Johnson's sentence sends out a strong message that this type of crime won't be tolerated:
