A man has been jailed for more than four years after he stole jewellery, cash and bank cards from addresses in Farnborough.
Jason Eastwood, 30, of Hindell Close, Farnborough, broke into five homes and stole various items on Monday 11 May and Tuesday 12 May.
Winchester Crown Court heard that Eastwood:
• Entered a property on New Dawn Close and stole jewellery, headphones and a car key on 11 May.
• Entered a property on Bairns Close on 12 May but did not steal anything.
• Entered a property on Lauderdale and stole cash and jewellery on 12 May.
• Entered a property on Lauderdale on 12 May but did not steal anything.
• Entered a property on Briars Close and stole a purse, cash and bank cards on 12 May.
He pleaded guilty to five counts of burglary at Winchester Crown Court on Thursday 18 June and was sentenced to four years and three months at the same court on Friday 28 August.
The sentence was increased to four years and seven months as a suspended sentence was activated.
Detective Sergeant Adam Knight, from the Northern Area Crime Team, said: “Jason Eastwood’s crime spree was targeted and brazen and I would like to thank the officers and staff who worked hard to gather the evidence against him.
“Breaking into someone’s home and stealing their property is an intrusive crime which causes immeasurable distress to its victims, and we do not underestimate the impact that this has on those who are affected.
“We work really hard to ensure that those who commit these crimes face the consequences of their actions. I hope that this result helps the victims of these burglaries to move forward and we will continue doing everything we can to support those affected by burglary and bring offenders before the courts.”
