Police stop search in Lyndhurst results in Ellis Glynne being jailed for going equipped for vehicle theft

GETTING caught by police with a jamming device and other items for stealing a vehicle in Lyndhurst resulted in a man being jailed for four months.

Ellis Glynne (33), of Swordsman Road in Camberley, Surrey, had previously denied a charge of having articles for use in the course of, or in connection with, vehicle theft.

But, reappearing at Southampton Magistrates’ Court, Glynne was found guilty and sent behind bars.

This came after police carried out a stop search of the vehicle he was driving at the junction of the A337 and A35 shortly before midnight on 23rd April.

As well as the jamming device, they discovered a walkie talkie, gloves, balaclavas; and a car diagnostic tool and key.

The Bench ruled only a custodial sentence could be justified as the offence was so serious.

Glynne was also ordered to forfeit the items for destruction.
