A habitual shop thief has been jailed after breaching a court order that prohibited him from entering stores in Tunbridge Wells. Tommy Robertson, 59, defied a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) by attempting to steal nearly £1,000 worth of clothing from Marks & Spencer in the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre.
Sergeant Chris Wells of Kent Police commented, “Robertson has a history of prolific offending that has impacted numerous businesses in Tunbridge Wells and beyond. His disregard for a court order designed to protect local stores from shoplifting demonstrates a lack of respect for the law. This prison sentence reinforces our commitment to tackling shop theft and ensuring offenders face the consequences of their actions.”
