A PROLIFIC Barnsley shoplifter has been jailed after he breached the conditions of his criminal behaviour order.
David Heeley, 51, of Frederick Street, appeared at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court last Thursday where pleaded guilty to two shoplifting offences and breaching his CBO.
He committed two shoplifting offences in Dodworth just four months after he was handed a three-year CBO for committing the same offences.
He was handed a 16-week prison sentence.
Sergeant Paul Allen, from Barnsley Safer Neighbourhood Service, said: “Heeley’s prison sentence was increased from eight weeks to 16 weeks as he broke the conditions of his CBO when he committed these new offences.
“Heeley’s continued actions in the same stores named on his CBO have caused continued harassment, alarm and distress to the staff working there which in turn has caused him to receive a greater prison sentence.
“Shoplifting is not a victimless crime and we take these crimes seriously.
“The CBO gives us powers to impose harsher penalties.
“This is evident in the court result for Heeley.”
