A Crosskeys man who stole £9,500 worth of riding equipment has been jailed for 18 months.
In the early hours of December 7 last year, Gavin Waite, 20, of Islwyn Road, Wattsville, broke into a stable block in Tredunnock.
Around £9,500 worth of riding equipment was stolen, mainly saddles and attachments.
White ran away after disturbing one of the owners who was living in a nearby caravan. The riding equipment belonged to a number of owners who all rented stables in the block.
Waite was identified by officers from CCTV footage within the stables.
He admitted burglary and was sentenced at Cardiff Crown Court on February 20 to 18 months in prison.
