TWO Hamilton businesses were among multiple agricultural entities that fell victim to a spate of thefts and burglaries committed by Portland man Simon Carr over several months early last year – he has been sentenced to 15 months’ jail with 102 days already served.

Carr, 39, of King Street, Portland, pleaded guilty in the Warrnambool Magistrates’ Court on Friday to 19 charges including indictable offences, failure to comply with bail and stealing agricultural goods to the value of $106,000.
