Connor Moore was remanded in custody
Bristol Magistrates Court
A man has been remanded in custody after being charged with breaking into houses and stealing cars right across the West Country.
Connor Moore appeared before magistrates earlier this week facing charges relating to an on-going investigation into a series of burglaries where cars have been taken from Whitchurch in South Bristol, Nailsea in North Somerset, Bitton on the east side of Bristol, and Easter Compton in the north west of Bristol, and Swindon in Wiltshire.
Moore, a 30-year-old from Croscombe Drive in Hartcliffe, was told he faces two counts of non-dwelling burglary, 12 counts of dwelling burglary, two counts of attempted burglary, one of the theft of a motor vehicle and one count of acquiring or possessing criminal property.
He appeared before Bristol Magistrates Court on Wednesday, July 15, and was remanded in custody to appear again at Bristol Crown Court on Wednesday, August 19.
Detective Inspector Tim Mullins, from Avon and Somerset police, said: “We are taking robust action to tackle dwelling burglaries where vehicles are being targeted, using all available lines of enquiry to identify and bring offenders to justice.
“We fully understand the significant distress and disruption these crimes cause to victims and their families, and we remain committed to preventing further offences and supporting those affected,” he added.
