A Bognor man has been sentenced to 36 months behind bars for burglary and fraud.
Police were called to a report of a man breaking into a property in Victoria Drive at 4.50am on 3 November.
Officers attended the scene and arrested a suspect.
A window pane near the front door to the property had been broken.
Paul Tully, aged 37, of Ash Grove in Bognor Regis, subsequently pleaded guilty to the burglary and to a separate fraud by misrepresentation after he was found to be using a bank card not belonging to himself at a supermarket.
He was given prison sentences totalling 36 months at Portsmouth Crown Court on Wednesday (2 December).
Detective Sergeant Ali Hutchings said:
"This outcome was the result of a big team effort across our local CID and Response teams, resulting in another burglar being brought to justice."
