AI generatedThe court convicted the defendant of theft and recidivism for a series of burglaries targeting car wash ATMs and cash dispensers.

The court rejected the defense's arguments, finding the evidence sufficient to prove the continuous nature of the crimes and imposing a custodial sentence due to the defendant's prior record and high social harm.
