A MAN has been jailed for burglary conspiracy after breaking into a house, attacking a cyclist and stealing fuel from a garage-- all on the same day.

Jimmy Cash, 30, of Crown Close, Bishops Cleeve, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to burgle, one count of making off without payment and one count of assault in a hearing at Oxford Crown Court on Thursday, October 21.

It comes after Cash, along with others, burgled a house in Caversham, Reading on August 4.

The court heard how he also stole £70 worth of fuel at the Texaco garage in Charvil, Wokingham, on the same day.

He then attacked a cyclist on the same day, leaning out of a car window striking him on the head.

Thames Valley Police arrested Cash on August 30 and charged him the following day.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Jamie Lawes of the Priority Crime team based at Abingdon police station, said: “Given the weight of evidence against Cash, his guilty plea was inevitable, and I am pleased that he has now been sentenced accordingly.

“Residential burglary is an invasive crime which Thames Valley Police is always committed to investigating and bringing offenders to justice.

“Cash will now have to serve a prison sentence as a result of his actions, and I hope he uses this time to reflect on his offending behaviour.”

Cash was handed a prison sentenced to three years and six months.
