A PROLIFIC burglar has been jailed following a crime spree targeting properties across Cheltenham. Jason Potter, aged 34 and formerly of Winchcombe Street in Cheltenham, appeared at Gloucester Crown Court on Tuesday 13 May where he was sentenced to six years in prison. He had previously been convicted of eight counts of residential burglary, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, one count of assaulting an emergency worker and one count of criminal damage. Potter had been investigated by officers following a series of burglaries which took place across Cheltenham between 2021 and 2024. CCTV captured from the properties showed Potter arriving on his moped, attempting to avoid cameras and then entering and burgling the addresses before riding away. He was linked to the burglaries after being recognised by officers who viewed the CCTV and it was established that the same moped, which belonged to Potter, had been used to travel to the properties when committing the offences.
