PS Kirsty Miller, district support sergeant for Gwynedd North, said: “This is a fantastic result of good police work.

“The offender pleaded guilty today and I hope that his sentence sends a clear message to criminals and to the public that burglary is a priority crime for your local policing teams.

“Burglars do not consider the impact of their actions on their victims, which can often be long-lasting and beyond the loss of property.

“If you know someone who is involved in theft or profiting from stolen items, I would urge you to report them to us via LiveChat or 101, or via Crimestoppers (anonymously) on 0800 555 111.”
