    A man from Neath Port Talbot has been jailed after committing multiple burglaries and a theft on the same night.

    35-year-old Craig Leismeier, from Margam, committed his offences in the area of Taibach, Port Talbot on the night of Monday September 30. He targeted a licensed premises and a charity shop and was also responsible for the theft of a tip jar at a restaurant.

    Leismeier, who was on a suspended sentence at the time of his offending, has now been sentenced to six months in prison.

    Inspector Tom Richardson said:

    “Craig Leismeier is now rightfully beginning a prison sentence having caused misery to business owners in the community in a quick succession of offences.

    “Our local businesses have the right to feel safe, and we have a zero tolerance approach to offending of this nature. We will arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
