A 37-year-old man has been recalled to prison for 56 days after being caught stealing twice on the same day from the Co-op at Julian Road in Bath.
John Vann, of no fixed abode, appeared in custody before city magistrates on Wednesday 1st April and admitted two charges of theft from the store on 29th March.
He stole a £6 bottle of wine on one occasion and items totalling £184.25 on the other.
Prosecutor Maree Doyle told the court that Vann is “well-known” to staff in the shop and described him as a “season ticket shoplifter”.
He shoplifted while on licence from a jail sentence imposed by Salisbury magistrates in January for similar offending.
As well as jailing him, Bath magistrates ordered Vann to pay compensation to the Co-op of £190.25.
