A SHOPLIFTER must serve the rest of a previous custodial sentence after he stole from the same store on successive days.
Glen Wilson, 20, stole two bottles of spirits from Asda, in Peterlee, east Durham, on January 5 and took three the following day.
Durham Crown Court heard he was on licence after early release from a 28-month young offenders' institution sentence, imposed in 2003 for distraction burglaries.
Wilson, of Johnson Estate, Wheatley Hill, east Durham, admitted two theft charges and was sent to jail for 12 months.
