A defence barrister accepted his client was a “prolific shoplifter” but one who now acknowledges he needs assistance
A 32-year old man branded a “nuisance for shopkeepers” by the Recorder of Belfast was sentenced today for a spate of thefts.
Mr Purvis revealed that June 28 last year Patterson and another man entered a store at the Quay’s Shopping Centre in Newry. He carried out a further theft at a Tesco store on the Antrim Road in Belfast on July 11 last year and on this occasion he stole bottles of Southern Comfort valued at £108. Patterson was identified via CCTV footage and when he was arrested he made full admissions to police and told officers “I need help.”Noting Patterson was a father of four, the barrister said: “He knows that if he is going to have any input in their lives, he needs to break the cycle of offending.”
