The 22-year-old entered the address after smashing a window pane. He took a number of items including jewellery and a mobile phone, but left his blood at the scene.
Detectives traced Karim to an address in Twickenham where he was arrested. He went on to plead guilty to burglary.

Karim was jailed for seven months when he appeared at Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing yesterday (Wednesday, August 3). Detective Constable Jayne Milne, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Karim travelled all the way from London to Southwell for no other apparent reason than to commit this burglary.
“He committed this offences without any regard whatsoever for the financial and emotional impact on the victim. I am pleased he is now off the streets and hope his imprisonment will reassure people the force takes all reports of burglary extremely seriously and is committed to both preventing burglaries before they happen and pursuing burglars who blight our communities and bringing them to justice.”
