Night vision goggles burglar Garry Roughley jailed

An ex-soldier who used night vision goggles during a 10-month burglary spree around Wales, has been jailed.

Garry Roughley put bogus leaflets through letterboxes and targeted homes where they had not been picked up.

The 35-year-old, of no fixed abode, was jailed for six years after admitting nine burglaries and other offence.

Caernarfon Crown Court heard Roughley, lived in a tent and carried out the burglaries between September 2015 and July 2016.

Among the items he stole included a Mercedes sports car from the Carmarthen area and a Honda Jazz.

Roughley pleaded guilty to nine counts of house burglary, going equipped for theft and fraud, with a dozen burglaries considered in total.

North Wales Police worked with Dyfed-Powys Police to catch Roughley, describing him as "a prolific offender".
