A prolific shoplifter has been sentenced after stealing food, alcohol and cleaning products in Norwich.
John Price, of Aylsham Road, appeared at Norwich Magistrates' Court yesterday (May 11), where he pleaded guilty to 10 counts of theft from a shop and 10 counts of breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).
Between May 4 and May 9, the 35-year-old stole items including cheese, alcohol, meat, cleaning and laundry products from shops on Colman Road, Catton Grove Road, Hall Road and Fifers Lane.
On Saturday, May 9, at around 9.10am, Price visited a store on Dereham Road, where he stole £159 worth of coffee products.
Police were alerted and officers spotted him on Dereham Road where he was arrested.
The stolen items were recovered and he was taken to Wymondham Police Investigation Centre for questioning.
In February, Price was handed a two-year CBO banning him from all Co-op stores in Norfolk and the Tesco Express on Dereham Road.
All the offences he recently committed were in stores he was prohibited from entering, resulting in 10 breaches of his CBO.
During his court appearance, Price was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison and ordered to pay compensation of £1,361.
