A Wiltshire man has been jailed after carrying out two burglaries on the same night.

25-year-old Carter Light has been jailed for 16-months for burgling two garages - stealing vapes and alcohol

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 Station 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.”
