A BARNSLEY burglar has been given 45 months in prison.

Mark Clements, 42, of no fixed abode, was sentenced on Thursday at Sheffield Crown Court after pleading guilty to a burglary he committed on Oakwell Lane at 3.20pm on January 23.

He was charged with one count of burglary and arrested close to the property while carrying the stolen items.

PC Greg Brice said: “I’m glad Clements has taken responsibility for his actions and has now been rightly punished.”
