A bungling burglar caught on CCTV attempting two raids on homes has been jailed for 28 months.
Aaron Weeks, 38, of Marksbury Road in Bedminster, was identified thanks the victims' security cameras.
He was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court after admitting burglary and attempted burglary.
In the first offence, the burglary, Weeks stole a laptop and iPads along with a bike.
Then, for the second offence, the attempted burglary, at a neighbouring property he tried to break-in before being disturbed by the resident.
Both took place in Parklands Road in Ashton on November 27.
PC Sam Richards, of the Operation Remedy team, said: “He was disturbed by one of the victims who heard noises outside her home - when she later checked her CCTV, the footage showed Weeks trying to break in.
“He’d also carried out a burglary at a neighbouring property and had taken items including a laptop and iPads.
"Fortunately he was also caught on this victim’s security camera and we were able to make a swift identification."
PC Richards added: “I hope this sends a clear message out to those engaged in this type of offending that the police and the courts treat burglary offences extremely seriously and if caught you can expect a jail sentence.”
It is not the first time Weeks has been convicted of burglary.
Last year he was jailed for 33 weeks by magistrates after plundered goods from County Cars and JM Hazel Electrical in Bishopsworth .
The court heard he left a torch held in his mouth at the scene - gifting the police with his DNA.
