A ‘ONE-MAN crime wave’ who terrorised Andover in a month-long campaign of burglaries has been sentenced to more than three years in prison.

Lee Stewart James, of no fixed abode, appeared at Winchester Crown Court on September 1 charged with 10 counts of burglary, theft and obstructing a police officer.

The 39-year-old pleaded guilty to the offences which saw him target nondwelling premises including shops, offices, a place of worship, a community hall and a recreation centre between May 3 and June 9, this year.
