A man has been jailed for 40-weeks after admitting to 20 counts of shoplifting in a month.

"...it also affects staff who are left to manage the fallout..."
Sergeant Rich Jones, from Telford’s Town Centre Team, said: “We’re committed to identifying and arresting repeat shoplifters swiftly to prevent further offences and protect our local businesses.
“Shoplifting doesn’t just cause financial loss, it also affects staff who are left to manage the fallout of these incidents.
“My team will keep working closely with retailers to provide crime prevention support, and ensure those responsible are held to account and put before the courts to face justice.”
