Prolific Telford shoplifter jailed for three months

Peter Wilson went into Aldi in Snedshill, Telford, and shoved two joints of beef inside his jacket before attempting to leave the store without paying, the town's magistrates court was told yesterday.

Miss Sara Beddow, prosecuting, said the 43-year-old, of Park Road, Donnington, was detained by security staff until police arrived at the shop on May 16 this year.
