A NUNEATON man has been charged with multiple counts of shoplifting.
Daniel Laws, of Tarn Rise, Nuneaton, has been charged with five counts of theft from a shop and one count of attempted theft from a shop.
The 34-year-old has also been charged with six counts of breaching criminal behaviour orders.
Under the orders, he has been told not to enter Nuneaton Town Centre; Horeston Grange Shopping Centre; a supermarket on Weddington Road and another on Kem Street.
This is following six incidents of theft from shops in Nuneaton which are alleged to have taken place between October 15, 2023 and January 18, 2024.
Three of these offences are reported to have taken place at a supermarket on Weddington Road on October 15, December 7, and January 12.
These involved the alleged thefts of meat and cheese products worth around £180.
Two offences are alleged to have taken place at a large shop in Newtown Retail Park.
During the first on January 12, a man was reportedly seen on CCTV taking £300 worth of cleaning and protein products from the store without paying for them.
The second, on January 18, involved a man allegedly being challenged on exit from the store by the security guard.
This resulted in the alleged discovery of air fresheners and other laundry items which had not reportedly been paid for.
The other incident reportedly took place at a shop in Horeston Grange Shopping Centre, where on January 16, a man placed £200 worth of alcohol into a cart.
He then allegedly left through the fire exit without paying.
Laws was arrested and charged today (Friday) and will appear at Coventry Magistrates Court tomorrow.
