City Thief Sentenced

A thief who targetted the City of London has been given an 18 month suspended sentence by Southwark Crown Court.

The 37 year old man from Hackney targetted people in Bishopsgate, Old Broad Street and Broadgate and would purport to show them bargain items for sale in a carrier bag, but the bag itself was the cover he used to swipe wallets and mobile phones.

He was also issued with an 18 month supervision order and required to visit drug rehabilitation programme for 12 months.
