AN ANDOVER man has escaped a prison term despite going on a one-day crime spree which included two thefts and threatening a man with a needle.
30-year-old Wayne Leigh Eastman, from Plough Way, Andover, was handed a total of eight months in suspended prison sentences for his crimes following trial at Winchester Crown Court on Friday.
Each of the sentences were suspended for two years.
The spree, which took place on Friday 15 May, included threatening a man with a needle on Smannell Road and the theft of a £99.99 computer hard drive from Maplin.
For both counts he received two two month consecutive sentences.
Eastman was also handed a four month suspended sentence for attempting to steal a Karcher Pressure washer belonging to Halfords.
