Jailed: Prolific Ludlow shoplifter is locked up for third time in five months after latest thefts
A prolific Ludlow shoplifter has been returned to jail for six months for twice breaching a criminal behaviour order (CBO) and two counts of shoplifting.
Anthony Shingler of no fixed abode was handed the sentence at Kidderminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday after pleading guilty to the offences.
The 38-year-old was given the CBO on September 28 last year with conditions not to enter a number of shops in Ludlow following previous shoplifting sprees in the town.
On January 26 and January 27 Shingler entered the Sainsbury's and One Stop shops in Ludlow where he stole over £200 of items, breaching the terms of his CBO.
He had previously been locked up for eight weeks in September for targetting the One Stop in Ludlow five times, and was handed the two-year CBO after pleading guilty to those offences. His hauls included Budweiser, laundry products, food and household items.
