Shoplifters sent to jail

Two people have been jailed for carrying out a series of thefts from shops.

Jake Duggan, 34, and Lisa Inglehart, 43, both of no fixed address, were both sentenced for five counts of theft from shops and five breaches of a criminal behaviour order.

The offences happened at a Tesco Express store in Warmley and Sainsbury’s in Kingswood, between January 20  and February 3 this year.

Duggan was jailed for 191 days while Inglehart was jailed for 140 days at a hearing in Bristol Magistrates’ Court last month.

Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant Richard Humphrey said: “This criminality has a real and lasting impact on businesses and those who work for them, and our police teams will continue to support retailers in identifying offenders and bringing them before the courts.”
