Crown counsel Susan Mulligan described the images as “crystal clear”.Wilmot was identified by police and arrested on October 4. The court heard his record for stealing goes back to 1979.Today he pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary and one count of prowling and apologised to the court.Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo told him: “You’ve been doing this a long time. Your guilty plea is the only thing to your credit. None of this property was recovered.”Items to a total value of $1,385 were stolen.Wilmot was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for each theft, plus 12 months for prowling, with all sentences to run concurrently and time already spent in custody to be taken into account.
