A burglar who stole cash from a Cambridge restaurant has been jailed.

Jack Wilmot was captured on CCTV breaking into Royal Spice, in Chesterton Road, on 29 October and stealing money from the till.

The 28-year-old, of East Road, also stole 18 bottles of olive oil from Sainsbury’s, in Mill Road, between 27 and 28 October and alcohol from Milton Tesco on 20 September.

Wilmot has a Criminal Behaviour Order in place until May 2026 with conditions not to enter any Boots, Co-op, The Perfume Shop, John Lewis, TK Maxx or Sainsbury’s in Cambridge.

At Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (30 October), Wilmot pleaded guilty to three counts of breaching a CBO, four counts of theft and burglary. He was sentenced to 38 weeks in prison.

PC Samantha Chapman, who investigated, said: “Thanks to clear CCTV evidence and swift investigative work, we were able to bring Wilmot to justice quickly. We hope this sentence sends a clear message that burglary and theft will not be tolerated in our communities.”
