A man has been jailed for committing two business burglaries in Crawley.
Harvey Brackpool broke into Tesco Express in Commonwealth Drive on 8 November, and stole cigarettes and a charity box. Then on 10 November he broke into Starbucks in Queens Square and stole a charity box.
The 22-year-old, of no fixed address, was arrested on 9 December and charged the same day to appear at Crawley Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday 10 December.
He pleaded guilty to both offences and was sentenced to 24 weeks’ imprisonment, and ordered to pay £100 compensation.
Brackpool was described by the court as having a flagrant disregard for people and their property.
Chief Inspector Steve Turner, District Commander for Crawley and Mid Sussex, said:
“We are committed to bringing more offenders to justice and safeguarding our community, including local businesses from burglars.
“Our teams worked tirelessly to ensure Brackpool was charged, and this swift conviction highlights our strong stance against burglars.
“We will continue to target suspects and ensure communities feel safe and protected.”
