    Raymond Weatherley, 49, from Riverside, Cardiff, pleaded guilty to eight offences of:

    • Six counts of Burglary other than dwelling
    • One count of Burglary other than dwelling with intent to steal
    • One count of Fraud by false representation

    He had another 32 offences which were also taken into consideration. He was sentenced on Tuesday, March 11, to three years and two months.

    Detective Inspector Steve Jones said:

    “Weatherley is a notorious thief who repeatedly targeted churches.
    “Our communities will hopefully feel safer knowing that a prolific burglar is behind bars, particularly one who targeted places of worship.
    “I hope this sentence offices justice to those whom he stole from and that it sends a message to those who commit this crime that we do not tolerate it, and we will take action.”
