A BURGLAR and shoplifter has been jailed after stealing four mountain bikes from sheds in Cheshire.
Lewis Dutton went into a garden on Victoria Road, Runcorn, and entered the shed in the early hours of Monday, January 18.
The 28-year-old is not believed to have taken anything from the shed, but soon afterwards he attempted to steal a mountain bike that was chained up in another garden on Victoria Road.
He used a hacksaw on the chain but fled without the bike after activating a security light and waking up the occupiers.
In the morning people living in the nearby St Johns Gardens and Ashley Road woke up to discover that mountain bikes had been stolen from their sheds overnight.
