Caught in the act! Jordan Evans, a 36-year-old with a hefty history of 61 offences, found himself behind bars once again. Late one night, while Uber Eats drivers were out delivering, Evans snuck into a bedsit, making off with wedding gifts, cash, a passport, and even taking time for a shave with his victim’s razor. The owners returned to find their rooms ransacked and belongings missing. Luckily, Swansea police were quick on their feet. With CCTV footage and house-to-house inquiries, Evans was tracked down and arrested just days later.
Despite Evans denying the burglary, his past doesn’t seem to be on his side—he’s previously served time for everything from burglary to cocaine dealing. This time, Judge Paul Hobson handed him an 18-month sentence. Evans admits he has no memory of the crime due to drug use. He’s vowed to use his time in prison for good, determined to tackle his drug issues and turn over a new leaf for the sake of himself and his grandmother.
There’s hope yet—Evans claims he’s staying positive, making friends, and finding support within the walls of Swansea prison. Only time will tell if he’ll manage to stay clean when he’s released, but for now, he’s got his sights set on a brighter future. Let’s hope he’s learnt his lesson and the next door he knocks on isn’t the wrong one!
