"We take shoplifting and business crime seriously and understand the significant impact this can have on retailers, staff and the wider community.
“We will continue to target those who repeatedly steal from stores, intimidate staff or cause disruption to businesses and members of the public.

Last month, Crockett was in court after he had targeted Cleveland Retail Park, stealing more than £2,000 of clothing, £1,735 of meat, high-end fragrances, skincare products, sports jackets and four right-foot trainers.
