A man has pleaded guilty to a spate of shoplifting offences in Chichester.
At around 11.20am on March 2, Pele Cullum, 18, entered Tesco on Fishbourne Road East and stole alcohol worth hundreds of pounds.
This was just the start of several crimes he committed that day.
At 1pm, Cullum stole multiple jackets, valuing at around £1,500 from Cotswolds on East Street.
He then returned to Tesco at 3.30pm and headed straight to the alcohol aisle, where he made way with more items.
Finally he entered Co-op on East Street at 4.40pm where he caused hundreds of pounds worth of damage by kicking over a wine tower and elbowing crates of beer onto the floor.
Cullum, of Bayford Road, Littlehampton, admitted to three counts of shoplifting and criminal damage when he appeared before Crawley Magistrates’ Court on March 6.
He has been remanded in custody to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on April 19 for sentencing.
Detective Sergeant Colin O’Hare said:
“Sussex Police take a firm stance on business crime, and we will put offenders before the courts when the evidence allows.
"Cullum’s behaviour was wholly unacceptable and those who go to work should not have to deal with this kind of behaviour during their everyday work.”
