Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed for three burglaries in Thame.
Richard Harris, aged 44, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to three years in prison at Oxford Crown Court on Wednesday (17/8).
He pleaded guilty to three counts of non-dwelling burglary and one count of vehicle interference.
Sometime between 1am and 2am on 8 June this year, Harris broke into a pub on The Green and stole a cash box.
At 1.40am the same morning, he broke into a business on Stadhampton Road and stole personal items.
Then at 6pm, Harris tried the door handle of a vehicle on London Road, before breaking into a business and stealing an Apple computer.
Following an investigation, Harris was arrested on 9 June before being charged on 10 June.
Detective Sergeant Jamie Lawes, based at Abingdon police station, said: “Thames Valley Police is committed to bringing burglars to justice as it is an incredibly invasive crime.
“Harris’ sentencing will hopefully serve a lesson to others who seek to commit burglaries that we will investigate and look to put offenders before the courts.”
