A Bellevue man has been jailed for at least two years on 105 dishonesty charges.

Erick Hekeiterangi Wijohn, 26, was sentenced in Tauranga District Court this afternoon to three years and six months prison with a minimum non-parole period of two years.

Sentencing Judge Peter Rollo said the minimum non-parole period was to deter the prolific offending and to reassure the community Wijohn was not be released from prison after serving one third of his sentence.

During an earlier court appearance Wijohn pleaded guilty to 105 offences including one count of burglary, 56 counts of unlawfully interfering with a motor vehicle, 46 counts of stealing from cars and possession of a knife in a public place.

According to police between February and June this year Wijohn went on a spree breaking into multiple vehicles around the city's suburbs. He was also on prison release conditions for similar offending at the time of the offending.

On one occasion, Wijohn entered a home and stole $5200 worth of property as the occupants, including children, slept.

Wijohn took property from vehicles including laptops, money, bags, wallets, cellphones, iPads and iPhones.

His lawyer Glenn Dixon said his client had helped the police with their investigation and had it not been for his cooperation, Wijohn would not be facing so many charges.

Glenn said Wijohn went on a ride along with police to point out areas he offended in.

'I rarely say this about police officers, but Constable Carswell [the arresting officer] took the bit between his teeth and interviewed Wijohn on a number of occasions and, with the cooperation of the offender, cleared up a number of offences committed in the community.”

Glenn went on to say his client substantially assisted with the police investigation.
