A PROLIFIC burglar has been jailed for sneaking into a hotel staff room and stealing a purse and bankcard.
David McManus, of Talbot Place in Datchet, admitted going into the Oakley Court Hotel staff room and rummaging through a handbag.
McManus fled with a purse before going to two shops in Dedworth and using the stolen bankcard after the incident at about 3.30pm on August 27.
The repeat offender pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud and one count of non-dwelling burglary.
He was sentenced to a year in prison at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, October 11.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Yasmin Senussi, based at Maidenhead police station, said: “McManus is a prolific offender and burglary is such an invasive crime so I am pleased he has been brought to justice.
“I hope this sentence sends a strong message that burglary will not be tolerated by Thames Valley Police and we will deal with offenders robustly.”
