A TROWBRIDGE heroin addict from Trowbridge who burgled a house only weeks after being put on a drug treatment and testing order has been jailed for two and a half years.
Russell Campbell, 25, formerly of Towpath Road, broke into the house at Chaffinch Drive on December 23 as the occupant slept upstairs, stealing her handbag. He used bank cards to buy items to sell to fund his habit.
Campbell admitted two burglaries, driving while disqualified and without insurance and failing to surrender to custody and asked for 11 other matters to be taken into consideration. He also admitted breaching the drug treatment and testing order.
