A burglar who ransacked a Bradford barber’s shop to make off with property worth £4,500 has been jailed for two years.

Daniel Frayne, with 56 convictions on his record for 111 offences, smashed his way into The Yorkshire Chair in Town Gate, Wyke, in the early hours of March 29, Bradford Crown Court heard today.

Frayne, 37, of Moresby Road, Woodside, Bradford, caused damage and stole hairdressing equipment, an Apple Mac Book and two cameras, prosecutor Kelly Gallagher said.

Following the burglary, between 2am and 3am, Frayne tried to burgle Towngate Community Shop by smashing a window but he was unable to gain entry.

He told the police he sold the items stolen from The Yorkshire Chair to pay for drugs.

Miss Gallagher said that on August 2 he smashed a window at his partner’s home after an argument and later threatened to return to do more damage to her windows.

Frayne, who was then in breach of two suspended sentence orders, pleaded guilty at the magistrates’ court to burgling the barber’s shop, criminal damage and threatening to cause criminal damage.

He was remanded into custody and sentenced on a video link to Leeds Prison.

The further offences of burglary and attempted burglary were taken into consideration by the court today.

Frayne’s solicitor advocate, Saf Salam, said he had been without money and a home at the time of the burglary, leading him to commit further offences.

He was a window cleaner with employment available on his release and he was recon-ciled with his partner after the argument.

Frayne knew that immediate imprisonment was inevitable, Mr Salam said.

The judge, Recorder Ian Mullarkey, said there was a degree of ransacking when Frayne broke into the barber’s shop. The owner of the business was caused significant financial loss from the damage and the theft of property.

Frayne had gone on to smash a window at his partner’s home when her dog was inside the address and suffered cuts to his paws. He had then threatened to return there to do more damage.

He had 111 offences on his record and had breached two suspended sentences, Re-corder Mullarkey said.

Frayne was jailed for 12 months for the burglary, plus ten months for threatening to cause criminal damage and two months of the suspended sentences were activated, making a total of two years because the sentences were all consecutive.
