A prolific shoplifter who stole more than £2,500 worth of goods in a four-month spree has been jailed and handed sweeping bans from supermarkets and an entire London borough.
A Met spokesperson said:
“This case highlights the success of proactive, local policing. By working closely with businesses and analysing CCTV, officers were able to stop a repeat offender and help protect our communities.”
