Detective Inspector Helen Knight, from CID, said: “Brian Plumb is a career criminal who vowed to commit an offence for every day that he had served in a previous prison sentence and it’s clear he was serious about that vow.
“He has expressed remorse for his actions and sympathy for his victims.
“Unfortunately, none of the stolen property has been recovered.”
