The same day he then broke into a house on Reading Road, where he took jewellery and a bank card. He then went to a shop on West Street, Reading and attempted to use the card he had stolen.
Unacceptable
Detective Constable James Clancy, said:
“These are serious offences which have rightly resulted in a conviction and sentence for the offender.
“Hunter will now have plenty of time in prison to consider his unacceptable behaviour, which Thames Valley Police will never tolerate.
“We will continue to bring before the courts those who carry out offences such as this that have an impact on our communities.”
