A BURGLAR who stole a t-shirt from a flat in Bournemouth has been jailed for 18 weeks.

Felgie Suika, aged 22 and of no fixed abode, trespassed in the address in Knyveton Road and took the item of clothing on August 10.

Appearing before magistrates in Poole the following day by video link, he admitted the offence and was committed to prison, with the bench noting the crime's seriousness due to his previous record of offending.

He was also ordered to pay a £128 surcharge.

Magistrates handed him a seven-day prison sentence to run concurrently after he admitted being in possession of three wraps of heroin when searched at Bournemouth Custody.

The drugs were forfeited and destroyed.
