A man from Sudbury who stole more than £900 worth of alcohol from Waitrose over the course of 10 days has been jailed for eight months.
Daniel Wilson, 44, appeared for sentencing at Suffolk Magistrates’ Court in Ipswich on August 23.
Wilson, who is of no fixed abode but from the Sudbury area, had pleaded guilty to four counts of theft.
The first offence took place on July 29, when Wilson stole £194.50 worth of alcohol from the Waitrose store in Sudbury.
On August 3, Wilson visited the store again and this time stole £207.50 worth of alcohol.
Days later on August 7, Wilson returned to the store on two separate occasions, stealing £261.50 and £272.50 worth of alcohol.
In total, Wilson had stolen to £936.
He had also admitted one count of attempted theft, having been apprehended while trying to steal £303.50 worth of alcohol from Waitrose on August 8.
According to court documents, it was decided that Wilson’s crimes were worthy of a custodial sentence as they were committed during the operational period of a suspended sentence.
