CRIMINALS put behind bars in April for Dorset offences include three young thugs who burgled a family home, a drug dealer who peddled Class As while on bail and a robber who threatened shop staff with a syringe.
The courts are dealing with more and more cases, including jury trials, as the national lockdown easing continues.
The list below includes 12 offenders that were put behind bars by judges last month.
Their combined sentences totalled 54 years and and two weeks' imprisonment.
Some of them could be released on licence part way through their time behind bars, while several were issued with extended licence periods as they were deemed to be "dangerous offenders".
