Cambridge shoplifter sent to prison after alcohol thefts

A shoplifter who stole alcohol from a store in Cambridge has been sent to prison.

Liam Marshall, 32, of no fixed abode, was caught on CCTV stealing alcohol worth £133 from Tesco in Cheddars Lane on November 5. He was then seen again stealing £380 of alcohol from the same store on December 8 and arrested.

Marshall was sentenced to 38 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of theft at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (December 9).

Marshall was given a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) in May last year preventing him from entering any Boots, Next, Co-Op, TK Maxx or B&M store in Cambridge.

He is also banned from the Grafton Centre, Grand Arcade, Lion Yard and Beehive Centre and any shops or retail premises within them.

PC Peter Lloyd said: “Marshall is a prolific thief whose offending is causing misery to businesses and their staff.”
