Prolific town centre shoplifter Jamie Fletcher was jailed for six months yesterday (Thursday).

He was arrested on Wednesday for the offence of a bulk theft from a shop as well as multiple breaches of his criminal behaviour order (CBO).

In fact, there were EIGHT BREACHES of his CBO.

In a post on social media, police officers said: “Not long enough in our opinion… but at least this gives the town centre shops a brief respite from Fletcher’s offending.”
