He pleaded guilty to four counts of burglary, three counts of theft from a motor vehicle, two counts of vehicle interference, one count of business burglary, one count of assaulting a police officer and one count of possession of a class A drug.

"Gary Atkins has been committing offences in the Holmer Green area for a number of years, causing the residents a lot of distress and anxiety.
