They relate to a Porsche Cayenne and Chevrolet Matiz at The Moorings, a Nissan Duke in the Maesglas area and a Vauxhall Grandland SUV on High Cross Drive, Rogerstone.
“The offences are so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified”, the city’s magistrates’ court were told.
The defendant was also ordered to pay £57 in compensation to the One Stop shop following his release from custody.
