A man went on burglary spree which saw him steal a range of items from golf clubs to vodka, medical equipment, a carpet cleaner and an e-scooter, a court has heard. Jamie Jones targeted a house and a series of sheds and garages in the late night raids looking for things he could sell to fund his drug habit.
Swansea Crown Court heard the 37-year-old has more than 70 offences on his record, and committed his first burglary when he was aged just 14. Alycia Carpanini, prosecuting, told the court the offences happened over the course of two weeks in November last year, and began when Jones used a brick to smash his way into a bungalow on Pen-yr-Yrfa in the Clase area of Swansea on the night of November 10.
The property was empty at the time as the owner was renovating it for his daughter, and the raid was discovered the following morning. Jones' blood was found in the kitchen of the bungalow.
