A member of a gang of car thieves who stole an estimated £500,000 of high value vehicles around Bristol has been jailed.
Anthony Rodriguez-Taylor was identified committing break-ins both by DNA and distinctive clothing. Bristol Crown Court heard in one raid a stolen Mini Cooper was used to smash into a garage and the gang also used blow torches and jemmies to force entry.
Rodriguez-Taylor, 22, of Sea Mills, pleaded guilty to three burglaries, an attempted burglary, theft, a non-dwelling burglary and aggravated vehicle taking. He asked for 27 similar offences to be considered.
