A man has been jailed for 20 months after he stole copper bars from a business in Aldershot.

We received a report that the items, which were worth £300, had been stolen from Camberley Rubber Mouldings on Deadbrook Lane on Thursday 10 October last year.

Officers launched an investigation and Connor Limburn, 32, of Northern Parade, Portsmouth, was later charged with burglary other than dwelling.

He pleaded guilty and was jailed for a total of 20 months after a suspended sentence order was activated at Winchester Crown Court on Friday 11 April.

Police Sergeant Rob Tiller, from the Aldershot Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “Officers from a number of teams across the force worked together on this case to identify, interview and put Connor Limburn before the courts.

“I hope this result reassures the community that we take reports like this extremely seriously and our teams will do everything they can to ensure that offenders are caught and face the consequences of their actions.”
