A 25-year-old man has been jailed after pleading guilty to two burglaries on the same night in which vapes and alcohol were stolen.
Appearing before Swindon Magistrates on Monday (11/08) Carter Light, of Westfields, Zeals, was handed a 16-month custodial sentence for his role in burgling Longbridge Service at Longbridge Deverill in Wiltshire, and the Murco Garage in Stalbridge, Dorset on 30th July.
PC Charlie Forster, of Wiltshire Police’s Burglary Team said: “Burglary can have a significant impact on those businesses affected. Aside from the obvious financial loss and disruption to trade, there is the emotional impact that such crimes have on hard working staff who are left to pick up the pieces.
“I hope that this result sends a strong message that we will do everything in our power to bring such offenders to justice.”
