Man jailed for series of Taunton burglaries

A man's been handed two years and seven months in prison after a series of burglaries in Taunton.

Konrad Hicner, admitted four counts following a number of incidents - including a mobility scooter being stolen from a vulnerable man.​

The 40 year old's actions between October last year, and this February, have been called 'particularly callous'.

He also stole a purse containing bank cards from a property in Galmington Road; tried to enter a property in Hoveland Drive but was disturbed by the owner through a video doorbell, and was disturbed by another victim after breaking into a property in Belmont Drive, stealing a bag which was later found discarded.​

Hicner admitted four counts of burglary and was sentenced at Taunton Crown Court on Friday (23 May).​
