NEATH PORT TALBOT man, Craig Leismeier, 35, launched a crime spree on Monday (Sep 30), committing multiple burglaries and thefts across Taibach, Port Talbot. His actions left local businesses feeling vulnerable and targeted.
Leismeier, from Margam, broke into a licensed premises and a charity shop and stole cash from a restaurant tip jar, all within a single day. At the time, he was already serving a suspended sentence.
Inspector Tom Richardson said: “Craig Leismeier is now rightfully beginning a prison sentence, having caused misery to business owners in the community with a quick succession of offences.”
He added: “Our local businesses have the right to feel safe, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to offending of this nature. We will arrest the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
Leismeier has been sentenced to six months in prison.
