PC Louise Shaw said: “We’re committed to catching shoplifters and putting them before the courts. Shoplifting can have a huge impact on both businesses and those who work for them.”

Ward’s latest court appearance activated a 16 week suspended sentence. He was given a further six weeks for the new charges.
