A man has been jailed after threatening several staff members at a Bestwood Co-op where he stole pork chops and fabric softener. Corey Fawsitt, 20, of no fixed address, told one member of staff that he would "bash her face in" after stealing pork chops from the Co-op store on Beckhampton Road.
The first incident happened on October 26 and he returned later that day to steal bottles of fabric softener. He then returned again the next day and was challenged by a member of staff after filling a bag with meat.
A struggle ensued where staff managed to retrieve the bag of meat and to get Fawsitt to leave the shop. But he returned to kick a staff member's hand and then threatened to "smash his face in".
