A man who assaulted police officers, stole alcohol from a pub and smashed car and shop windows has been jailed for a fortnight-long crime spree.
Frazier Furlong, 27, also tried to break into properties across Worthing and sold an Xbox he stole from Currys to a pawn shop.
Furlong, of no fixed address, admitted a total of 16 offences over the space of 12 days between October 28 and November 8.
Sussex Police Detective Inspector Gary Jacobs said: “Furlong caused a huge amount of distress to his victims and committed a number of unacceptable crimes in a short time frame.
"This is an excellent result and a huge credit to the team for securing the charges which has led to this sentence."
On October 28 Furlong began his crime spree by unsuccessfully trying to break into a property in Poulters Lane in Worthing before smashing a TV and a car parked at another house in Offington Drive.
After being arrested and taken to Worthing Custody Centre he then assaulted a police officer.
