Winter targeted sheds and outbuildings across Wrenbury, Malpas, Allstretton, Chester, Tilstone Fernall, Tiverton, Whitchurch, stealing a range of items from bicycles and garden equipment and tools to watering cans and trophies.

Sergeant Roy Wellings from the Chester Local Policing Proactive Team, said: "Winter was prolific and appeared to be indiscriminate in what he stole. It appears that if it wasn't nailed down he took it.

"He's now paying the price for his actions."
