Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been jailed for multiple thefts in Slough.
Yousef Zekari, aged 34, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison at Reading Magistrates’ Court on Friday 4 October.
Zekari pleaded guilty to six counts of shoplifting and two counts of breaching court bail at the same hearing.
Zekari stole items from One Stop in Elmshott Lane multiple times between 15 August and 4 September, despite being on court bail on two occasions.
Zekari was charged on 4 October.
Sergeant Charlie Etheridge, from the Operation Purchase team based at Slough police station, said: “We are proactively targeting the prolific shoplifters who target Slough’s shops.
“I want to dispel the myth that people can steal from shops with impunity.
“Our team has had a series of excellent results in recent weeks, with Yousef Zekari the fourth person sent to prison following our investigations in as many weeks.
“The message from the Op Purchase team is clear – if you are caught stealing from shops in the Slough, you will be prosecuted with the full weight of the law.”
