Following the arrest, investigating officers were able to connect him with a separate car theft in Epsom the previous week.
Newell was sentenced at Guildford Crown Court to a total of 25 months, and he will be detained for 16 months in a young offenders' institution before serving the remainder of his term in a prison.
He had pleaded guilty to two counts of theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of burglary and the use of a motor vehicle without third-party insurance.
Newell was also disqualified from driving for 30 months.
