He stole items including Ferrero Rocher, alcohol, meat, and electronics
A man has been jailed for stealing more than £2000 worth of goods for multiple shops. Daniel Loates, 40, stolen from shops in Wisbech 16 times between October and December and stole items including Ferrero Rocher, alcohol, meat, and electronics.
Loates targeted a range of shops including Tesco, in Kirkgate Street, Tesco Express in Cromwell Road, Londis in Norwich Road, and Holland and Barrett in Norfolk Street, Kings Lynn, Nofork. Loates, of no fixed address, was jailed for a year and 48 weeks and ordered to pay £1754.40 in compensation at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, January 14.
The offences also breached a 48-week suspended sentence he received in November for 20 other thefts.
PC Rebecca Risebrow, from the northern Spree Offender Team, said: “Loates had been given a second chance by the courts but decided to continue offending, resulting in time in prison. I would like to thank those who reported these offences to us as it allowed us to gather CCTV footage, identify Loates and arrest him.”
