A 34-year-old man has been jailed for 14 weeks after being convicted of multiple vehicle crime offences.
Ashley Godber, of James Street, Masbrough, Rotherham, appeared before Sheffield Magistrates’ Court on Friday 21 July charged with three counts of theft from a motor vehicle, one count of vehicle interference, one count of failing to comply with a drugs test, one public order offence and breach of a Criminal Behaviour Order.
He was convicted of the offences and received a 14-week jail sentence.
Acting Police Sergeant Ryan Griffiths from Sheffield said: “Godber committed a series of vehicle crimes in the Handsworth area within a 24-hour period.
“This came after he was handed a Criminal Behaviour Order in March this year with specific conditions about not touching/entering unattended motor vehicles without the express permission of the owner.
“Thanks to some fast action by Sheffield officers, we were able to arrest Godber and charge him the following day (13 July) with a series of offences.
“He is now behind bars for his crimes.”
