A Hampshire man has been sentenced to four more months in jail for stealing a caravan.

James Wood, 33, of Cutforth Way, Romsey, is already in prison for a spate of thefts, including stealing a pair of garden gloves, a car wheel and a statue of a horse.

He pleaded guilty to the theft on July 2 and was sentenced to four months' imprisonment at Poole Magistrates' Court.

Wood stole the Elddis Odyssey caravan, worth £8,000, in Christchurch, Dorset, in the summer of 2023, the court heard.

This was several months before he burgled the Swanage Cricket Club on November 18.
