Jail for Peterborough thief who stole booze from M&S
A man who stole from the same Peterborough shop ten times in less than a month has been jailed.
Cambridgeshire Police said that Reece Cruickshank, 36, stole items including meat, cheese and alcohol from Marks and Spencer, in Bretton Way, Bretton, between 16 November and 8 December.
The combined value of thefts was more than £1400.
Police said he also stole dog food from Pets at Home, in Bretton Way, worth £170 on 17 November.
Cruickshank, of no known address, was identified from CCTV footage and arrested.
He admitted eleven counts of theft from a shop and was jailed for 20 weeks on Saturday (13 December) at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court.
PC Matthew Amos said: “Cruickshank was relentless in his determination to steal from this shop.
“His audacious behaviour caught up with him and I’m pleased he has now appeared in court.
“We will continue to work with retailers to bring people who steal from them to justice.”
