A MAN from Bangor stole a motorcycle, bicycle and power bank within hours of being released from prison.
Terrance Lloyd, who had 66 previous convictions, refused to attend his sentencing as he was jailed for one year and four months at Caernarfon Crown Court on Thursday (September 24).
Lloyd, 40, of Greenwood Avenue, admitted taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent, vehicle interference, theft from a motor vehicle, theft of a pedal cycle, and threatening with a bladed article.

Prosecutor Laura Knightly said on March 27, 2025, Lloyd and his friend travelled to Dolgellau after both were released from HMP Berwyn, Wrexham that morning.
The men approached numerous individuals in Dolgellau, asking them: “Do you want anything robbed for 50 quid?”
On the morning of March 28, a man, Lewis Owen, discovered his Honda motorcycle was missing.
He later came across Lloyd and his friend “sleeping rough” in Dolgellau, and a verbal altercation ensued.
Lloyd said he’d taken the motorcycle, so Mr Owen called police; the defendant then brandished a Stanley knife and pointed it at Mr Owen.
Verbal threats were made by Lloyd to return to Mr Owen’s address, where he lives with his mother, and to kill him.
After Lloyd was arrested, a bike he had taken from another man, Isaac Sutton, was found, as was a power bank stolen from the Citreon Berlingo of a third person, Clayton Baldwin.
In a statement, Mr Owen said the incident has had a “detrimental effect” on his life.
He said he has encountered difficulty sleeping, feels “extremely anxious and on edge” when at home, and has intrusive thoughts.
Representing Lloyd, Dafydd Roberts conceded immediate custody was unavoidable.
Mr Roberts said Lloyd “suffers with his mental health” and is “troubled by drugs”.
Sentencing, Judge Nicola Jones also disqualified Lloyd from driving for 17 months.
“Although, frankly, it will make no difference, as he’s never driven a car legally in his life,” she said.
“I don’t think anybody took him up on his offer (to rob for £50). If they did, they didn’t get any goods.
“It is my hope that Mr Lloyd will be thoroughly cleaned out of drugs and intoxicants, and will be a better hope for the probation service.
“Mr Owen is to be applauded for his proactive approach in getting back his own property.”
