A MAN who stole an Amazon delivery van and parcels in Bournemouth has avoided an immediate prison sentence. Christopher Stanley Wright stole the silver Vauxhall Vivaro van and took some of the delivery packages from Pawel Garlicki s vehicle. Wright, 56 and of South Kinson Drive, Bournemouth, committed the crime on June 6 last year with Jed Hudson, aged 29 and of Lander Close, Poole. Hudson was handed a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, after admitting the offences at Poole Magistrates Court. However, Wright pleaded not guilty. A trial went ahead in his absence after he failed to show up at court on October 1, 2020, and he was found guilty on both counts.
