LITTLE ROCK, AR – A man who burglarized numerous homes for sale in central Arkansas was sentenced to 13-years in prison Wednesday.

George Sedberry pleaded guilty to the crimes he committed last August. Police say Sedberry would research homes for sale then steal the keys out of the realtor lock boxes. Sedberry would return a few days later to burglarize the home, stealing mostly jewelry.

Sedberry was accused of committing burglaries in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Sherwood, Maumelle, Benton, and Bryant.

When he was arrested, police say they found several pieces of jewelry, electronics, and lock boxes throughout the house and in his car. The stolen items were later returned to their owners.

while I condemn thieves and do think they deserve a good amount of jail time, 13 years in prison is a little harsh considering he was not armed. If he has a prior history of being a criminal then I can understand but now I'm wondering if he does. Armed robbers get less time than that, child molesters get lesser sentences. This guy's just a cat burglar..13 years???? geez that's just too much.

To amber jack only: #1 This guy is 40, not a kid, #2 I dont know of any fat Meth heads. I grew up with this guy in High School and was a good kid. I do know his father passed a couple months prior to these events. Funnny how people get on here with judgements without knowing this people personally. Why dont you post a picture of yourself out here so i can critique what you look like. Not nice to have someone judge you. Only God can judge. I will pray for YOU, him and his family.

He'd get less time if he had shot, raped or had lbs. of drugs. Or was a perv.
