KONRAD Hicner has been jailed for four burglaries in Taunton – one of which saw him steal a mobility scooter.

Hicner, of no fixed address, committed the offences between October last year and February 2025 and was sentenced at Taunton Crown Court on Friday (May 23).

The 40-year-old admitted the offences, which included a mobility scooter being stolen from a vulnerable man at a residential underground car-park in Compass Rise on October 19 last year, and was jailed for two years and seven months.​

He also stole a purse containing bank cards from a property in Galmington Road; tried to enter a property in Hoveland Drive but was disturbed by the owner through a video doorbell, and was disturbed by another victim after breaking into a property in Belmont Drive, stealing a bag which was later found discarded.​

PC Mattie Kasperek said: “Burglary is an invasive and disruptive crime which we treat extremely seriously.​

“Hicner’s opportunistic offending caused the victims significant distress and inconvenience. Stealing a mobility scooter is a particularly callous act.​

“We welcome the custodial sentence and hope it sends out a warning to others that we’re determined to identify offenders and bring them to justice.”
