A MAN who admitted carrying out burglaries at three Malvern addresses in seven days, stealing items worth an estimated £9,000, was this week jailed for three years at Worcester Crown Court.

Dean Jeffs, aged 36, of Old Street, Upton-upon-Severn, was already in custody, having been recalled to prison in connection with other offences, when he was charged with the three burglaries.

On Thursday, November 25, he stole cash, two iPods, one with attached speakers, and a Sony digital camera, worth a total of £650 from an address in Chance Lane.

On Tuesday, November 30, he stole a Playstation 3 and controller, a Panasonic DVD player, a black leather CD/DVD holder containing various disks, a gold, sapphire and diamond engagement ring and a gold wedding ring, with a total value of £1,700, from premises in Birchwood Road.

And on Wednesday, December 1, he stole two cameras, three lenses and a flash gun, all Canon, a Dell laptop computer, a Mini Mac hard drive, two iPods, a wallet containing cash, bank card and driving licence, and a camera bag, worth £6,500, from an address in Church Road.
