A man who targeted vehicles for valuables while the owners were asleep has been jailed.
Richard Leleu, 42, of Tebbutts Road, St Neots, struck five times between June 19 and 27 last year.
He was captured either on CCTV or by witnesses entering or attempting to enter vehicles in Park Avenue, Lakefield Avenue, Field Close, Wantage Gardens and Skipper Way, Little Paxton.
On two occasions Leleu successfully broke into vehicles and stole £200 and two debit cards which he used in a nearby garage to buy goods worth more than £80.
At Peterborough Crown Court on January 26, Leleu was sentenced to one year and 12 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of vehicle interference, two counts of fraud by false representation, attempted theft, criminal damage and bicycle theft.
