A man from Swansea has been jailed after committing a burglary in Townhill.
38-year-old Daniel Allen, from Waun Wen, was identified as the suspect after attempting to sell a lamp stolen from the property at a nearby shop. Other ornaments, computers, phones and trainers were also stolen during the burglary, at an address on Gomer Road.
Allen pleaded guilty to burglary at Swansea Magistrates Court on November 13.
He has been sentenced to 20 months in prison.
Detective Constable Liam Jenkins said:
“Daniel Allen had already been remanded for 13 shoplifting offences at the time of the investigation into this burglary.
“Whilst he was known to the victim, any burglary will cause worry amongst all those who live on the victim’s street, so I hope that they can feel some relief in knowing Daniel Allen is going to prison.
“It is very disappointing that Daniel continues to offend in this way.”
