Serial Derbyshire shoplifter jailed after spate of superstore thefts
A Derbyshire man who stole food and household goods during repeated shoplifting raids on local superstores has been jailed.
Derbyshire police said that Dominic Miller stole a wide range of household goods from Heron Foods, Tesco and ASDA, in May and June.
These included washing products, mini M&M's, a burger, chicken dippers, biscuits and meat products.
He was arrested and charged with three shop theft offences.
Miller was also charged with cannabis possession and breaching the terms of a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) by entering Tesco in Glossop on Friday 29 May when prohibited from doing so.
The 40-year-old, of Chapel Street, Glossop, pleaded guilty to all offences and was jailed for 24 weeks during a sentencing hearing at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates’ Court.
Sergeant Patrick Haley, of the Buxton and Glossop Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT), said: “Shop theft leaves businesses out of pocket, which they can ill afford.
“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the team we managed to bring Miller to justice and this should serve as a warning to other thieves operating in Glossop that this type of offence will not be tolerated and will likely land you with a prison sentence.”
