A prolific shoplifter has been jailed after stealing beauty products, washing detergents, meat and confectionery.
David Carter, aged 37, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to 26 weeks in prison at Bristol Magistrates’ Court on Monday, April 20 for committing a total of 28 shop thefts and 28 breaches of a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) in South Gloucestershire.
The offences took place between January 31 and April 17, and targeted retail outlets including Tesco Express in Stoke Gifford.
Carter also targeted Morrison’s Daily in Little Stoke and stole a range of items including beauty products and confectionery.
Sergeant Richard Humphrey of the neighbourhood policing team said: "Carter has persisted with his offending, and we hope the sentence handed down to him reflects the seriousness of his actions.
"We also hope the fact he is now in prison brings some reassurance to business owners and the public, and we will continue to work closely with partners to tackle repeat offenders who cause harm to our communities.”
