A man from Waterloo, Huddersfield has been jailed after stealing thousands of pounds worth of luggage from a train.
Jamie Letremy, of Mitchell Avenue, was sent to prison for 30 weeks after Kirklees magistrates heard how he swiped suitcases from passengers after boarding a train at Huddersfield in January last year.
He was also sentenced for a string of other offences, including further thefts, fraud, and possession of Class A drugs.
The magistrates, sitting in Huddersfield, were told that the 28-year-old conspired with his brother Tyrone Letremy, in the thefts.
Tyrone Letremy was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for the thefts last month.
Magistrates were told that between January 18 and February 2 last year, British Transport Police reported several luggage thefts from trains between Dewsbury and Huddersfield.
Carole Lawford, prosecuting, said that together with his brother, Letremy was responsible for stealing luggage belonging to two passengers on January 21.
The high value was due to the fact that one of the complainants had been due to go on a cruise to America the following day. The other victim, she said, had just come back from working in America taking photographs and all his equipment was in the suitcase.
