Shoplifter jailed for restraining order breach in Ferryhill
Carl Robinson, Great North Road, Chester-le-Street, admitted repeated breaches of a restraining order imposed by Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court.
The court was told that between May 5 and May 10, he entered Co-op Food and J Sainsbury in Ferryhill without reasonable excuse, despite being banned from both shops.
Robinson also admitted several shop thefts during the same period, stealing items totalling more than £483, including meat, cheese, coffee, fish, and energy drinks from Co-op Food and J Sainsbury.
On May 12, Newton Aycliffe Magistrates’ Court sentenced Robinson to 12 weeks’ imprisonment for each harassment offence, to run concurrently.
He must also pay compensation totalling £484.25 to the affected stores.
The court said the “flagrant disregard for people and their property” justified a custodial sentence”.
