A man who went into a shop 'set to steal' a number of shoes worth more than £400 said he is now committed to starting a new life without crime. Petru-Andrei Strut, aged 22, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Magistrates' Court of attempting to steal from a TK Maxx in Giltbrook, Nottinghamshire.
Strut, who lives in Derby, was seen entering the shop just before 1pm on January 30. Ms Pritchard, prosecuting, said the employer at TK Maxx had seen the defendant on CCTV "collecting various items of footwear" worth £407.94.
He was "taken into a room" instead, the prosecution told the court. The shoes in the basket had their security tags removed.
