Jack Mountford-Holding, 25, of Chesworth Close, Leigh, appeared before Wigan justices to admit to five thefts - mainly of alcoholic spirits - from shops between March and May this year. They include snatching two bottles of vodka from Leigh’s Tesco, two bottles of Jack Daniels and two of vodka from Asda on separate occasions, two bottles of gin from Aldi and also some razor blades on another criminal expedition to Asda.
The hearing was told he had previously been given a suspended jail term and community order for another shoplifting spate which also included threatening two people and breaching an order to stay away from a store.
