A prolific Amesbury burglar has been jailed for two years.
David Clift, 45, of Truckle Road, was sentenced at Salisbury Crown Court on Friday (2nd December) after he pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary.
Clift was arrested on November 9th following reports of several non-dwelling burglaries in the Larkhill and Tidworth areas.
Clift pleaded guilty to a break-in at an address in The Packway on November 5th, where he stole a charity box, a burglary in Old Sarum between November 2 and 6 and a burglary in Tidworth on September 1st, where cash and other items were stolen.
Eleven further burglary offences were taken into consideration ahead of sentencing yesterday.
Insp Tina Osborn said: "Clift is a prolific offender – his actions have caused upset to a number of people over the years, and I am grateful to the officers from our Neighbourhood and Volume Crime Teams who have been working closely to target repeat offenders.
"Burglary can have a lasting impact, and it is crucial that these offences are thoroughly investigated and put before the courts.”
As well as the two-year prison sentence, Clift was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £187.
