The first offence took place on Clarendon Road, where a resident woke to find Levy inside their home.
He fled the scene after being disturbed.
On Friday, February 13, 2026, a resident on Egerton Road discovered their home had been broken into and items including cash and keys had been stolen.
On Sunday, February 15, 2026, occupants of a house on Soberton Road were alerted by their doorbell camera to suspicious activity at their front door.
Levy was seen attempting to gain entry before fleeing when confronted.
He was arrested after CCTV inquiries by Dorset Police’s Neighbourhood Crime Team.
Detective constable Jo Regan said: “We recognise the impact burglary offences have on victims, particularly in these cases where the victims were at home at the time of the crimes.
“We remain committed to thoroughly investigating all burglary offences reported to us.”
Levy admitted to five additional burglary and theft offences, which were taken into consideration.
