AN Andover Golf Club burglar has been jailed for 10 weeks.
James Stephen Smith, of no fixed address, admitted to entering the golf club premises on Winchester Road and stealing a charity sweet machine valued at £129 earlier this month.
The 35-year-old also admitted to assaulting a female in Andover in July and to failing to comply with the supervision requirements of a previous sentence when he appeared in Basingstoke Magistrates' Court recently.
Smith was committed to a total of 10 weeks in prison as magistrates deemed the offences so serious because of his failure to comply with a prior community order.
