“The first bit of CCTV shows the man pulling up in the car park and clearly shows his car, along with the registration, the colour and a distinctive tow hitch on the back.
“A couple of minutes later it shows him scaling the fence and breaking into the cold storage room at the back of the pub.
“He must have had very expensive taste because he wasn’t going for the chips or the onion rings he was going for the more exotic things like the alligator steaks.
“He was in the cold storage room for around half an hour, it looked like he was on a bit of a shopping spree, grabbing lots of stuff and carrying them to his car. “He then decided to come back and have a go at the actual pub and steal a handbag and various other things.
'Beautiful shots of his face'
“The footage effectively shows him going into the pub and we managed to get some beautiful shots of his face staring directly at the camera.”
James posted the footage on Facebook, along with a full description of the incident on New Years Day and said that within an hour he had received hundreds of comments and messages."
A statement from Gwent Police said: “A 41-year-old man from Pontypool, who was wanted by police, is now in prison thanks to a tip off from members of the public, who had spotted him around the Usk area.
“Monmouthshire officers tracked him down and he was arrested, charged and remanded for a recent burglary at the Horse and Jockey Pub in Pontypool.
“He was also found in possession of drugs, for which he was also charged.
“He appeared in court where he pleaded guilty and received a 16 weeks prison sentence.
“He was also found guilty of breaching a suspended sentence and was sentenced to a further 12 weeks in prison to run consecutively - a total of seven months in prison.”
