A burglar from Riverside has been jailed after pleading guilty to burglary and fraud.
Raymond Weatherley, 49, pleaded guilty to eight offences and was sentenced to three years and two months on 11 March.
Weatherley had another 32 offences which were also taken into consideration.
Detective Inspector Steve Jones said: “Weatherley is a notorious thief who repeatedly targeted churches.
“Our communities will hopefully feel safer knowing that a prolific burglar is behind bars, particularly one who targeted places of worship.
“I hope this sentence offices justice to those whom he stole from and that it sends a message to those who commit this crime that we do not tolerate it, and we will take action."
