The alleged offences are said to have taken place across Canterbury and Faversham between June and this month.
Paul Ellis, of Hersden, appeared before Medway Magistrates' Court today, charged with six counts of burglary.
Cash, jewellery and ornaments were all stolen in a spate of thefts in the villages of Sturry, Wingham and Preston, the court heard.
The 46-year-old was also charged with driving without a licence or insurance while using a mobile phone in Canterbury on Tuesday.
He also faced a further charge of assaulting an emergency worker in the city on the same day.
