A prolific burglar has been sentenced to three years following a cross-county crime spree.
Christopher Brown, 23, of Denman Avenue, Cheltenham, was sentenced to three years at Worcester Crown Court on Friday, March 20, after admitting to a series of burglaries committed across Worcestershire, Herefordshire, and Gloucestershire.
The 23-year-old admitted to breaking into properties in Ladywood in Droitwich, Church Road in Crowle, Ross on Wye, Tewkesbury and Moreton-in-Marsh between October last year and January.
The court heard that Brown targeted multiple properties, causing distress to victims and disruption within their communities.
Detective Constable Will Goode said: "The sentencing of Brown to three years reflects both the seriousness of his offending and the dedication of our team in bringing him to justice.

"With hard work and determination, we were able to quickly identify, arrest and place Brown before the court, ensuring a swift outcome in this case.
"Burglary is an intrusive crime that causes significant harm and distress to victims, as well as fear and disruption within the wider communities where these offences took place.
"I hope this sentence provides some reassurance to those affected and demonstrates that we will act decisively to protect our communities and hold offenders accountable."
