35-year-old Craig Leismeier, from Margam, committed the crimes in the area of Taibach, Port Talbot on the night of Monday September 30. He targeted licensed premises and a charity shop and was also responsible for the theft of a tip jar at a restaurant.
Leismeier, who was on a suspended sentence at the time of his offending, has now been sentenced to six months in prison.
Inspector Tom Richardson said:
“Craig Leismeier is now rightfully beginning a prison sentence having caused misery to business owners in the community in a quick succession of offences.
“Our local businesses have the right to feel safe, and we have a zero tolerance approach to offending of this nature. We will arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
